The DP World Tour will become the first professional sports organization to use Amazon Leo as its official satellite connectivity partner, deploying low Earth orbit or LEO terminals at tournament venues starting in 2026. The network uses more than 3,000 LEO satellites to deliver high-speed internet to locations underserved — or completely unserved — by terrestrial infrastructure.
For years, the “wall” between storage and networking administrators has been a fixture of the enterprise data center. I spent the early part of my career as a network engineer and the arena of storage was a bit of a black box, and for most companies, that’s still the case. This is because these networks operated differently.
As one would expect, artificial intelligence was a top theme at the recent MWC conference in Barcelona, but 6G was certainly prominent as well. This year, the discussions has pivoted from the maturation of 5G wireless networks to the “seamless path” toward 6G. But for those of us who have spent the better part of two decades watching G-cycles come and go, there was a healthy dose of skepticism at the show.
For years, the industry conversation around stadium technology has been stuck on a single, albeit important, metric: How many thousands of fans can simultaneously post a selfie to Instagram?

I recently talked to the leadership at Ruckus Networks and the Los Angeles Football Club about the recent deployment of Wi-Fi 7 at BMO Stadium (pictured), and one of the big takeaways is the narrative around high-density Wi-Fi has shifted.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. announced new networking, compute hardware, cloud operations software and financing updates for service providers at this past week’s MWC26 in Barcelona. The updates center on meeting the new demands being created by artificial intelligence reshaping every aspect of network design — from centralized data centers to distributed edge environments.
