• T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) today announced it achieved record-breaking uplink speeds of 345 Mbps on its 5G standalone (SA) network in a recent test leveraging a new feature called UL Tx switching.
• UL Tx switching is a groundbreaking technology that enables seamless switching and a combination of different frequencies, effectively creating more uplink capacity and higher uplink speed.
• In other words, it's like taking the 5G superhighway and adding new faster lanes with spare capacity for traffic to zoom faster than ever.
• Greater uplink speeds are critical for customers when it comes to content creation and sharing, remote work and collaboration, gaming, emerging technologies like XR, and so much more.

• Skylo Technologies has raised $37 million from investors including Intel Capital, Innovation Endeavors, BMW i Ventures, Samsung Catalyst, Next47, and Seraphim Space to support its direct-to-device satellite connectivity solution.
• Skylo Technologies , the leading direct-to-device satellite connectivity service provider, today announces that it has secured $37 million in funding co-led by Intel Capital and Innovation Endeavors .
• New investors include BMW i Ventures , Next47 , Samsung Catalyst Fund and Seraphim Space .
• David Johnson of Intel Capital joins the board, bringing a wealth of experience and insight to fortify Skylo's leadership team.

• China’s national champions for computer chip – or semiconductor – design and manufacturing, HiSilicon and Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC), are making waves in Washington.
• Despite being the recipient of billions of dollars from the Chinese government since its founding in 2000, it remained far from the technological frontier.
• But now it faces formidable competition from China, who’s technological advance carries profound economic, geopolitical and security implications.

Semiconductors are a big business

• Smaller transistors result in lower energy consumption and faster processing speeds, so massively improve the performance of a microchip.
• Semiconductors are the backbone of the modern economy.
• The US push for “made in the USA” semiconductors has to do with this systemic importance.

Stifling China’s chip industry

Since the 1980s, the US has helped establish and maintain a distribution of chip manufacturing that is dominated by South Korea and Taiwan. But the US has recently sought to safeguard its technological supremacy and independence by bolstering its own manufacturing ability. Through large-scale industrial policy, billions of dollars are being poured into US chip manufacturing facilities, including a multi-billion dollar plant in Arizona.

• This includes the high-profile case of Broadcom’s attempt to buy Qualcomm in 2018 due to its China links.
• The US government has called on its friends to adopt a unified stance around excluding chip exports to China.
• Washington has also limited talent flows to the Chinese semiconductor industry.
• It banned the sale and import of equipment from Huawei in 2019 and has imposed sanctions on SMIC since 2020.

What’s at stake?

• Beijing’s ascent to the technological frontier would mean an economic boom for China and bust for the US.
• Taiwan’s status as the leading manufacturer of semiconductors has so far deterred China from using force to attack the island.
