AT&T Shares Rise 0.33% as 5G RedCap Hotspot Launch Propels Trading Volume to 125th Rank

On July 30, 2025, AT&T (T) rose 0.33% with a trading volume of $0.83 billion, ranking 125th in market activity. A key development emerged as Franklin Access launched the RG350, the first AT&T-certified 5G RedCap mobile hotspot. This device, featuring Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X35 5G modem, supports 15 simultaneous connections and dual-band Wi-Fi 6, targeting remote workers, small teams, and IoT deployments. The certification underscores AT&T’s expansion into enterprise-grade 5G solutions, aligning with growing demand for secure, scalable connectivity.

The RG350’s launch positions AT&T to strengthen its 5G RedCap network adoption, offering a balance of performance and power efficiency. By partnering with Franklin Access, AT&T gains early traction in a niche market bridging high-performance 5G and low-power IoT. The device’s enterprise-focused features—such as remote management tools and carrier-optimized design—could enhance AT&T’s appeal to businesses prioritizing reliability and security. However, long-term success will depend on adoption rates and competitive responses in the evolving 5G landscape.
