AI-native network innovation collaboration to span compute, connectivity, cloud and standards leadership across the core network, RAN and Edge The effort is designed to help make the path to 6G more open, efficient and cost-effective for operators and the broader ecosystem Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) and Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) are pooling their next-generation technology leadership to help accelerate ecosystem readiness for seamless transition to AI-native 6G deployments and use cases. The collaboration – an extension of a decades’ long relationship – was announced at Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2026. It will span mobile connectivity, cloud technologies, and compute capabilities across AI-driven RAN and packet core use cases, and platform level-security and network capabilities to help enhance ecosystem enablement and time-to-market for cloud-native solutions. Börje Ekholm, President and CEO, Ericsson, says: “6G is not merely an iteration of mobile technology. It is the infrastructure that will distribute AI across devices, the edge and the cloud. Ericsson’s long history of network innovation and large-scale operator deployments positions us to lead practical integration across the value chain and move 6G from research into commercial reality.” Lip-Bu Tan, CEO, Intel, says: “Intel’s ambition is to be the undisputed technology leader in unifying RAN, Core and edge AI to enable a seamless transition to AI-native 6G environments. Together with Ericsson, we will continue to demonstrate that the future of network connectivity is open, power-efficient, secure and grounded in intelligent AI inference. With future Ericsson Silicon, powered by Intel’s most advanced process nodes, ongoing multi-year research plans, and flexible AI-RAN ready Cloud RAN powered by Intel Xeon, we are well on our way to delivering the future performance, efficiency, and supply security that the world’s leading operators require.” A shared commitment As 6G transitions from the research phase to comme...

Bloomberg | Bloomberg | Getty Images BEIJING — Uncertainty is growing over U.S. President Donald Trump 's high-stakes trip to China after Washington targeted a second foreign leader in two months. Trump announced over the weekend that joint U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran killed its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. In early January, the U.S. also captured Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and his wife from their residence. Analysts say those actions could complicate Trump's high-stakes trip to Beijing. "President Xi Jinping won't feel easy about the death of the top leader of Iran," said George Chen, partner at The Asia Group, noting Beijing's relatively good relations with Tehran and Caracas. "How can Xi feel everything is normal and alright and be prepared to welcome Trump to visit in [a] happy mood?" he said. Chen added that "investors should manage their expectations on what Trump can achieve for his China trip — if he still goes." Trump is scheduled to visit Beijing from March 31 to April 2, following a fragile trade truce with China reached in late October. It would mark the first trip by a sitting U.S. president since 2017. But Beijing has yet to confirm the dates. China's Foreign Ministry on Sunday condemned Khamenei's killing and called it "a grave violation of Iran's sovereignty and security." Beijing urged for an immediate ceasefire, although it was less direct about the U.S. role than it had been after Maduro's capture . "I worry the U.S. side might use Iran, if it's going poorly, to delay the trip," said a foreign business executive tracking meeting preparations very closely, who requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter. "I think the risk [of the trip falli...
