Telecom & 5G · Week of Oct 26, 2026
New ISP, distribution deal and LEO PNT forecast: telecom week
A mixed week: a new Connecticut ISP, a networking distribution deal, a LEO PNT forecast, security integrations and consumer device news.
There was no single thread running through this week's releases. The items closest to core telecom were welo's launch of a no-contract home internet service across Eastern Connecticut, Winncom Technologies' new distribution partnership with Alta Labs for wired and wireless networking in North America, and Charter Communications' regular quarterly dividend on its Series A preferred stock.
Elsewhere, MarketsandMarkets published a forecast for the LEO PNT market. Semperis and Luminys announced security products, and vivo and Epomaker released consumer device news.
