T-Mobile unlocks new possibilities for customers with hardware launch
—Steve Harmon, chief commercial officer Inseego, May 2025
This is the third device from Inseego for's FWA service, and the company has taken care of a pain point in previous generations. The new router comes with a screen that displays signal strength and tells you whether 5G is available. It can also do speed tests. These features will make it easier for business owners to troubleshoot any issues that may pop up.

This is Inseego's first 5G Advanced device. 5G Advanced, which activated in April , is the latest evolutionary step in 5G.The Wavemaker FX4100 is underpinned by Qualcomm Dragonwing FWA Gen 3 Platform, which ensures improved uplink performance, better coverage, and superior spectrum utilization.It also supports three carrier aggregation on the downlink and two carrier aggregation on the uplink. This will boost speed and make online conferencing smoother. It's also equipped with 5G uplink MIMO to support both Time Division Duplex (TDD) and Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) bands.The device also supports non-standalone (NSA) modes and 4G LTE Cat 20 for reliable performance across multiple spectrum bands.The router will remain exclusive tothrough the end of the year.Withbeing the only carrier to support 5G SA nationwide and enjoying exclusive rights to the device, the Wavemaker FX4100 may serve as a reason for many enterprise customers who are looking for speed, reliability, and a future-ready solution to switch to the carrier.

Verizon establishes dominance in data usage during big US event
Verizon seems to be one of the main carriers involved in some of the biggest sports events in the United States. The network operator signed multiple partnerships with NFL, IndyCar and other similar sports organizations in the past. Besides that, Verizon's network covers some of the most important sports events in the this regard, the 2025 Indianapolis 500 race represents a big milestone for Verizon when it comes to data usage and connection. The carrier announced that in just one day, inside the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, a total of 172 terabytes (TB) of data was used on the Verizon network. Why is this important? Because it's more than it's been seen on Verizon 's network at this race and one of the highest data usage events the carrier has ever recorded. To support the claim, Verizon released some data for everyone to see, so here we go: Explosive 5G Growth : A staggering 74.6% leap in 5G UW volume of 61 TB inside the track over last year's race (43 TB), revealing how fans are embracing the speed and capacity of 5G. : A staggering 74.6% leap in 5G UW volume of 61 TB inside the track over last year's race (43 TB), revealing how fans are embracing the speed and capacity of 5G. Surging Overall Traffic : A massive 48.5% increase in total combined 4G and 5G UW data volume inside IMS, proving the network's capability to handle the intense demand. : A massive 48.5% increase in total combined 4G and 5G UW data volume inside IMS, proving the network's capability to handle the intense demand.

Combined Volume Growth : The combined data volume inside and outside the venue was nearly 172 TB – a 35% increase from last year's race day, demonstrating substantial year-over-year growth. Team Peske | Image credit: Verizon According to Verizon, the main reason behind this data explosion was this year's commercial activation of 5G Standalone at the IMS, which allowed fans to easily upload videos and share their experience in real time. – Andy Brady, President of Verizon Great Lakes, May 2025 The fact that Verizon 's network experienced a massive surge at the 2025 Indy 500, with 5G Ultrawideband (UW) right and center, and still managed to remain stable (or rather we hoped it did) is quite remarkable. For the sake of comparison, 172TB is the equivalent to more than 57 million digital photos (3 MB average). Switch to Total 5G+ Unlimited 3-Month plan or Total 5G Unlimited and get a free iPhone.

Everyone wants TSMC to build their 3nm chips as Samsung Foundry has trouble finding customers
Let's say you work for a major device manufacturer that is a fabless chip designer. In other words, while you design your own chips, you lack the facilities to produce them which explains the fabless label (Fab is short for a semiconductor fabrication facility). Suppose part of your job is to decide which foundry is going to build your chips. Right now, if you need advanced semiconductors, you have only two possibilities, TSMC and Samsung Foundry. But if you need your chips built using the most advanced process node of 3nm, there is no choice. TSMC is the foundry of choice. You might have to pay more and hope that there isn't a capacity issue that forces your order to be put on allocation by the foundry. However, if reliability is an issue, which it usually is, you want the foundry churning out 3nm chips with a 90% yield rather than the one with a 50% yield at that node which is Samsung Foundry. Big tech firms that count themselves as TSMC customers include Apple, MediaTek, Nvidia, and Qualcomm. The latter had decided to have Samsung Foundry produce the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 during 2021-2022. However, the foundry reportedly had an extremely low 35% yield and Qualcomm pulled its business from Samsung Foundry. Instead, it reworked the chipset and had it built by TSMC as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+. Since then, Qualcomm has relied on TSMC exclusively to manufacture its flagship Snapdragon 8 SoCs. The extreme ultraviolet lithography machine helped to take chip production under 5nm. | Image credit-ASML While TSMC is clearly the most reliable in-demand foundry, Samsung Foundry is a distant second. Coming up fast behind Samsung is China's SMIC which happens to be the third-largest foundry in the world. Due to U.S. and Dutch sanctions, SMIC is not allowed to purchase an extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) machine used to transfer circuitry patterns onto silicon wafers using lines thinner than human hair. EUV machines allow for the placement of billions of transistors inside these semiconductors. SMIC reportedly is using older Deep Ultraviolet Lithography (DUV) machines, purchased before sanctions hit, to build Huawei's new 5nm Kirin X90 chip used to power the Mate Book Pro laptop. The foundry also uses multiple impressions in an attempt to make up for the lack of an EUV machine. However, this results in lower costs and higher prices for such chips. Still, SMIC is ready to make 5nm and 7nm chips for the Chinese automotive manufacturing sector which would be another blow to Samsung Foundry which has been doing brisk business making such chips for these Chinese-based firms. With 2nm chips coming to smartphones next year, including the iPhone 17 line, TSMC will remain on top and possibly stay there well beyond 2026.

vivo X200 FE and X Fold5 launch date leaks
According to a new rumor out of India, both the vivo X200 FE and the X Fold5 will launch on the same day: July 10. This strongly implies that they will both be the stars at the same launch event. The X200 FE has been rumored to sport a 6.31-inch flat OLED screen with "1.5K" resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate, an under-display fingerprint sensor, the Dimensity 9300+ or Dimensity 9400e chipset at the helm, a 50 MP main camera using Sony's IMX921 sensor, a 50 MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and Sony's IMX882, and an 8 MP ultrawide. vivo X Fold3 Pro Selfies will be taken care of by a 50 MP camera, and the phone will be available in 12/256GB and 16/512GB trims. It will be IP68 and IP69 certified for dust and water resistance, and will get a 6,500 mAh battery with support for 90W wired charging. It should weigh approximately 200g. The X Fold5, on the other hand, will allegedly come with an 8.03-inch foldable AMOLED screen with "2K+" resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate, a 6.53-inch LTPO OLED cover screen with 120 Hz refresh rate, and a 6,000 mAh battery with 90W wired and 30W wireless charging support. It will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, paired with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. It will have a 50 MP main camera with the same IMX921 sensor as the X200 FE, a 50 MP ultrawide with autofocus, and a 50 MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom and (you guessed it) the IMX882 sensor. For selfies the device will have two 32 MP shooters. There will also be a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a three-stage Alert Slider-like button, there will be an IP rating too. The X Fold5 will be 4.3mm thick when unfolded and 9.33mm thick when folded. Source
