T-Mobile Starlink, New Nokia CEO & Qualcomm Results - 5G Factor - EP84

The 5G Factor, hosts Ron Westfall and OIivier Blanchard, examine the unveiling of T-Mobile Starlink to tens of millions of football fans during Super Bowl 59, which uses satellite and mobile communications technology to help keep people connected, including Verizon and AT&T customers, across the more than 500,000 square miles of the USA that's unreached by any carrier’s earth-bound cell towers. They also discuss why the move is a major step toward eliminating deadzones and represents a sales and marketing coup for the Un-carrier. They assess Nokia selecting Intel's AI and data center leader Justin Hotard as its new CEO and how his selection can spur AI-driven, portfolio-wide innovation in key areas such as network automation, AI RAN, and data center fabrics. Lastly, they review Qualcomm reporting record Q1 FY 2025 revenue, driven by strong premium-tier handset demand and continued momentum in automotive, posting its sixth consecutive quarter of record revenues and how Qualcomm's success in portfolio diversification delivers competitive advantages and expands the company's influence across the global mobile ecosystem.
