Telefonica Deutschland (Telefonica Germany) and Blue Planet, a division of Ciena, have demonstrated how AI agents can accelerate the design and deployment of 5G network slicing services. In a joint proof of concept, the two companies integrated Blue Planet AI Studio with Telefonica Deutschland's multi-domain service orchestration platform, achieving AI-driven automation throughout the service lifecycle. This initiative reduced complex engineering tasks, including slice specification design and standards-compliant service load generation, from weeks to minutes. By embedding AI agents into operational workflows, the project improved speed, consistency, quality, and reduced errors, while supporting Telefonica's goal of achieving more autonomous, native AI network operations. These results highlight the role of agentic AI in streamlining next-generation telecom service delivery and accelerating enterprise 5G application innovation.

Hytera unveiled the W60 wearable MCS radio at Critical Communications World 2026. Weighing approximately 156 grams, the device is designed to extend mission-critical communications beyond the coverage of traditional Professional Mobile Radio (PMR) networks. The wearable radio can connect to existing PMR systems and automatically switch to broadband MCX services when users enter areas with poor radio coverage, such as tunnels, basements, and underground facilities. The W60 features an 8-megapixel camera for real-time video transmission, AI noise reduction, AES-256 encryption, an IP68 protection rating, and a battery life of up to 24 hours. This solution enables public safety, transportation, energy, and industrial organizations to expand coverage, enhance situational awareness, and maximize their existing PMR infrastructure investments without costly network upgrades.
