AT&T unraveled itself from DirecTV and Time Warner surprisingly quickly, but the financial ramifications of those deals will linger for years.

Massive MIMO radios, power amplifiers, baseband process modules, and transceivers are the primary contributors to 5G networks’ power consumption.

Pairing SSE and SD-WAN is a flawed approach, Cato's Gur Shatz argues. “Whenever you have two things making a decision independently, you have a security hole.”

Ninety of the Fortune 100 companies are running the NSX platform as their SDN services, VMware SVP Tom Gillis claims.

VP Philippe Poggianti pointed to a significant uptick in spectrum allocation and deployments globally as evidence of its growing presence.

Security vendors should be bringing SD-WAN-like simplicity and automation to their platforms, VMware's Craig Connors said.

Dell'Oro Group noted the three vendors were the only secure access service edge vendors offering an integrated networking and security stack.

It’s not enough to control access to the data, the SSE platform needs to protect the data itself, Skyhigh CEO Gee Rittenhouse said.

Engineers have been surprisingly successful at putting off co-packaged optics almost indefinitely, Nvidia's Kevin Deierling said.

Deutsche Telekom, Orange, TIM, Telefónica, and Vodafone said they’re particularly interested in energy efficiency gains from open RAN.

The new platform is targeted at hyperscalers that need to support high-demand security, high-performance computing, and artificial intelligence workloads.

The new reporting requirements come as President Joe Biden warned about an increase in Russia-based cyberattacks on U.S. enterprises.

“Why should I as a company outsource my vital infrastructure to a company which has outsourced its vital infrastructure?" consultant John Strand said.

SiFive is one of several RISC-V chipmakers working with Intel as part of a $1 billion initiative announced last month.

Most SSE products are just rebranded and repackaged SASE services that’ve been stripped of their SD-WAN capabilities.

Private networks require specialized industry-specific expertise and present opportunities for all types of players.

The chipmaker plans to invest more than $36 billion in Europe over the next few years.

Many large enterprises may prefer to buy security service edge and SD-WAN products separately, Gartner's Charlie Winckless said.

Market dynamics and ecosystem development are all that stands in the way of cloud-native 5G infrastructure momentum, Google Cloud's Amol Phadke said.

“Just because there's a rising tide, it doesn't mean it lifts all boats," Signals Research Group's Mike Thelander said.

Nokia introduced Edge Network Controller, an application built within the Kubernetes environment for local network management and automation.

“​​The app world is evolving at a tremendously fast pace, but unfortunately the network world has become much more rigid,” CEO Shekar Ayyar said.

Adopting managed services doesn’t solve the talent shortage, it just makes it someone else’s problem.

An MIT study identified a 13% average quit rate for the enterprise software industry, but analysts credit that trend to the skilled developer shortage.
