Telecom & 5G · Week of Oct 26, 2026
Financing deals and a Navy spectrum award: the week in telecom
Financing and capital moves led a mixed week, alongside a Navy spectrum award, a multi-network mobile plan and new cloud and security tooling.
There was no single theme across this week's releases, though money matters featured most prominently. iQSTEL closed up to $3 million in non-convertible notes tied to its West African platform Ultranet, Ericsson reported repurchases of its own Class B shares for October 19 to October 23, 2026, and CACI International disclosed a U.S. Navy task order valued at up to $281 million.
On the service side, Tarifica picked a US Mobile plan that lets subscribers add a second or third national network on one phone. Two releases came from adjacent infrastructure markets: InMotion Hosting introduced a single-price cloud billing model, and Semperis extended its integration with Microsoft's security tools.
