SpaceX just raised the bar for satellite connectivity. The company is targeting 150 Mbps per user for its next-gen Starlink Direct-to-Cell service -- up from today's 4 Mbps.

Backed by $17B in acquired EchoStar spectrum and plans for 15,000 new satellites, this isn't vaporware

Testing is slated for late 2027. For anyone working in remote or mobile connectivity, this is worth watching closely. Full breakdown on the 5Gstore blog:

Does your failover connection tank your email deliverability?

When your primary internet goes down and cellular kicks in, a dynamic IP can get your legitimate emails flagged as spam.

The fix is a static IP plus properly configured SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records. Our updated guide walks through step-by-step DNS setup for Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Namecheap, Route 53, and Azure.

Semtech's AM/AMM 2.18 update is out — and if you run an on-prem AirLink Manager or AMM server, upgrading before May 31 is not optional.

Google is ending the geocoding API those servers rely on, which means maps and location features go dark after that date without the patch. Hosted AMM customers are already covered.

On-prem customers need to act now. 2.18 also adds AirLink OS device management to AM/AMM for the first time, letting you manage MGOS, ALIOS, and AirLink OS fleets from one interface. Full details on the 5Gstore blog.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we do it, including a recent build of 700 custom 30 ft cables for one customer:

Your router might have one Wi-Fi name for both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. That sounds convenient, but it often means your laptop is connecting to the slower band while the faster one sits underutilized.

The fix takes about ten minutes. We break down why it matters, how to do it on most routers, and what to do if you're on Starlink.

Semtech just launched the FX86E, a 5G RedCap modem built for industrial IoT OEMs and system integrators. It connects via Ethernet, works on 4G today and 5G RedCap as coverage expands, and ships pre-certified to cut months of integration time. MIL-STD-810H rated, C1D2 classified, and supports CBRS and Anterix 900 MHz private networks. Worth a look if you're planning industrial deployments. Full breakdown on the 5Gstore blog.

Amazon Sidewalk is going global in 2026, and the technology behind it is LoRa -- the same low-power, long-range radio protocol used in industrial IoT networks worldwide.

What makes this remarkable: Amazon built a network covering 95% of the U.S. population without deploying a single tower. They used the 600 million Echo and Ring devices already in customers' homes as gateways.

The international expansion begins in Canada and Mexico this month, with more regions to follow.

AI isn't just coming to 5G routers. It's already here.

From Ericsson's agentic AI in NetCloud that autonomously troubleshoots network issues, to on-device AI assistants that run without an internet connection, the convergence of AI and cellular networking is accelerating.
In our latest blog post, we break down four key areas where AI is transforming 5G routers:

Natural language configuration (tell your router what you need in plain English)
Self-healing networks with predictive optimization
AI-powered support that contacts YOU before problems escalate
Edge computing that turns routers into local intelligence hubs

The next few years will fundamentally change what a "router" means.

AI assistants are getting a major upgrade, and it is called MCP. The Model Context Protocol is the open standard that lets Claude and ChatGPT connect directly to real business systems.

At 5Gstore, we are already investigating what this means for our customers. Soon you may be able to check order status, browse in-stock routers, and get support without ever leaving your AI chat window. We wrote a full explainer on the blog.
