“Cloud AI is a big differentiator for Juniper right now because we do have a clean foundation to work on,” compared to Cisco and Aruba, Juniper's Bob Friday said.

Neuromorphic processors do away with traditional computing architectures in favor of one inspired by the brain's neurons and synapses.

It may sound hyperbolic, but open RAN could be the most divisive technology to confront the wireless industry in many years, perhaps decades.

“Nvidia doesn’t just make hardware or software, it’s a full stack company. We build all the layers of software and all the layers of hardware,” Nvidia's Manuvir Das said.

The world’s first mobile 5G networks were deployed two years ago and everyone in the industry is still searching, waiting for 5G to deliver on its promise. It might

New threat reports from Trend Micro, McAfee, and Menlo Security put mobile security in sharp focus and indicate that IoT devices and industrial systems are increasingly at risk.

Both Palo Alto Networks and Nvidia are betting on 5G to enable their next-generation security and AI products.

Facebook is emboldened and seemingly committed as ever to tear proprietary legacy models down to its benefit and many others.

“There is no magic that an Amazon Web Services, Google, and Microsoft could enable because the underlying software architecture is absolutely flawed. It needs to evolve," Rakuten Mobile CTO

The service will be live in Toronto by the end of this year, followed by Montreal in the first quarter of 2022, and Vancouver in spring 2022, Bell Canada
