New iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo Are First Apple Devices on Anterix 900 MHz Private Networks

Anterix announced that the new iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo are the first iPhone models to operate on dedicated private LTE networks using Anterix 900 MHz spectrum. The two models bring iPhone connectivity to dedicated private wireless networks running on band 106 licensed 900 MHz spectrum, giving critical infrastructure operators another device for field communications, operational applications, video, situational awareness and other mission-critical activities. Carlos L'Abbate, Chief Technology and Engineering Officer of Anterix, said an iPhone used every day by millions of people can now operate on the same private 900 MHz network infrastructure that supports mission-critical operations, calling it another clear sign that dedicated private wireless networks are becoming mainstream communications platforms. With iPhone now supported on Anterix 900 MHz Band 106 networks, operators can incorporate a widely used mobile device into the same dedicated network infrastructure supporting specialized devices and operational systems across their environments. Anterix trades on Nasdaq under the ticker ATEX.

Samsara Guides Thinner Cash Margin, Higher Operating Margin for Fiscal 2027

Samsara now expects a thinner free cash flow margin and a fatter operating margin for fiscal 2027, as the company pays upfront for the IoT hardware that carries its AI subscriptions. The CFO said Samsara buys the devices upfront while revenue comes back ratably over the customer contract, and the company cited the IoT devices that faster growth needs, inventory it is prebuying as a buffer, and higher supply chain costs in the second half of fiscal 2027. Free cash flow margin is guided about 100 basis points below fiscal 2026, which on the $2.04 billion of revenue guided for fiscal 2027 works out to roughly $20 million, while the non-GAAP operating margin guide rose to 21% from 20%. More than 20% of Samsara's net new contract value came from emerging products in each of the last three quarters, and deals with a top-five U.S. city included more than $2 million of emerging products in fiscal Q2 2027. Samsara crossed $2.1 billion in annual recurring revenue in fiscal Q2 2027, up 30% over the past year, and raised its fiscal 2027 revenue, growth, operating margin and earnings guides at one release.

NHTSA Opens Safety Probe Into Tesla's Driverless Cybercab

NHTSA has opened an investigation into Tesla's Cybercab after the company began offering rides in Austin, Texas, according to reports from WSJ and Reuters on September 4. The agency will examine the technical data and methodology Tesla used to self-certify the two-seat vehicle, which lacks a steering wheel, pedals, accelerator, and mirrors, and will assess whether Tesla correctly determined that certain federal safety standards do not apply to it. Tesla has not sought an exemption for the Cybercab, unlike Amazon's Zoox, which received an exemption in July for its steering-wheel-free robotaxis. NHTSA could require recalls or impose fines if it finds the Cybercab noncompliant. Tesla had 420 autonomous vehicles registered in Texas as of Friday, including 45 Cybercabs, as it begins expanding the robotaxi service.
