Neville Ray, T-Mobile US' president of technology, described the technology as late, unnecessary for its current network deployments, and a "corrosive" drain on capacity.

IBM injects red into its blue executive suite; Nokia cuts 180 jobs with more to come; plus Pt. 1 of the latest executive hirings, promotions, and staff changes.

Fortinet celebrated a strong Q4 by announcing a partnership with colocation provider Equinix and launching its smallest SD-WAN appliance

Irrespective of the merger’s outcome, the final quarter of 2019 was arguably its most consequential yet.

Nokia's earnings flatline; Verizon called Huawei lawsuit a ‘PR stunt’; and Cisco liked Facebook's Wi-Fi Partner Program.

The vulnerability allows an attacker to activate the affected device's Telnet service over an open transmission control protocol port and gain unauthorized access.

Cisco joins Nokia, Telefonica, Cambium Networks, Arista, and Ruckus Network, which already partner with Facebook on the WiFi program.

“We have faced challenges in mobile access and in cash generation,” Nokia President and CEO Rajeev Suri said.

Cissdm says CloudGenix's SD-WAN and CloudBlades platforms will allow it to deliver all branch infrastructure services directly from the cloud.

Cisco patched zero-day vulnerabilities in millions of devices; the White House backed US 5G plan; and IBM CTO called open source vital to edge success.

Nick Reed said a delay of up to five years could result if it has to replace Huawei equipment that is already installed across its European footprint.

The two companies aim to develop new service delivery models for communication services providers.

The Trump administration has been talking about empowering U.S.-based companies to take the lead on 5G for about 18 months, but the market realities are unchanged.

If exploited, the bugs would allow an attacker to eavesdrop on voice and video calls and steal corporate data flowing through the network’s switches and routers.

Telia Carrier taps a Cisco network first; Intel ditches Nervana for Habana; and IBM CTO predicts edge will implode without open source.

Silver Peak's SD-WAN will join iomart's managed service portfolio, while Fortinet's FortiWeb will power Continent 8's WAF.

“The edge is accelerated by 5G and 5G brings advantages to the edge computing scenarios,” IBM's Rob High said.

The network uses Cisco’s NCS5500 series routers that were updated last year to support 400GbE capabilities.

Intel acquired Habana Labs seven weeks ago for $2 billion to bolster its position in the highly competitive data center processor space.

NSA ranked cloud security risks; Nuage CEO said SD-WAN is multi-faceted; and TPx tapped Cisco Meraki SD-WAN.

“We are the first telecommunications vendor who is bringing programmability into the operations center,” said Nokia's Miikka Karhuluoma.

The Meraki SD-WAN is being positioned as an entry-level managed SD-WAN offering, with VMware's VeloCloud being positioned as a more "premium" offering.

Arista Networks buys Big Switch; VMware loses $237M patent infringement lawsuit; and Nokia cuts 180 jobs with more to come.

SD-WAN's purpose is changing. It's no longer about just shifting traffic off of MPLS networks, said Nuage CEO Sunil Khandekar.
