Almost 40 vulnerabilities with a 9.8 severity rating can be exploited over a network without requiring user credentials. So can dozens of others with lesser severity ratings.

CenturyLink nabbed $1.6B Interior Department win; Rogers rolled out a 5G first; and Telstra, Equinix deepened partnership integrations.

Rogers is working with Ericsson on the 5G network deployment pivoting off of an agreement signed in mid-2018.

The company’s two-part order with the Interior Department is spread over 11 one-year options that run through 2032.

The reports cover the impact of “alternative virtualization technologies” and provide a deeper look into network slicing and edge computing systems.

SD-WAN has the potential to address many of IoT's security and operational challenges, says Apcela CEO Mark Casey.

Verizon to lead new 5G group; Microsoft, NSA warn of "critical" vulnerability; and Red Hat updated OpenShift to target multi-cloud, security.

These groups can also muddy the waters by creating competing approaches that reflexively insulate empowered interests over broader goals that drive genuine interoperability.

Telstra’s new API integration with Equinix means its enterprise customers can directly connect to more than 170 service providers.

The updates tap into Red Hat's NooBaa acquisition in 2018.

The startup plays heavily in the telecom sector — 80% of its existing customers are in the space, and it expects 5G deployments to drive future business.

Nokia cut 180 jobs, with more to come; Equinix pushed to the edge with Packet acquisition; and Google powered up on IBM Power Systems.

“For the U.S. government to share its discovery of a critical vulnerability with a vendor is exceptionally rare if not unprecedented,” said Amit Yoran, CEO of Tenable.

AT&T plans to equip the base with 5G infrastructure to support more than 40,000 Air Force personnel, family members, and retirees.

The deal comes after a dismal second half of 2019 that saw the company's stock prices plunge from a high of $42 a share to $11 in December.

Equinix dominates the colocation market with more than 200 data centers in 55 markets globally. But these are typically huge facilities located in major internet hubs.

"The plans we are announcing today are expected to lead to headcount reductions globally," the company said in a statement.

Masergy wants to make it easier for its SD-WAN customers to identify and address unauthorized use of software-as-a-service apps.

The bug impacts Citrix's ACD platform; Samsung acquired TeleWorld to boost its U.S. RAN efforts; and LogicMonitor bought AIOps provider Unomaly.

5G network sharing deals have gained momentum as carriers look to decrease the cost of deploying and operating those networks.

Unomaly's technology will allow users to proactively take action before network disruptions impact their bottom line.

The group will share its work on 5G and MEC including working toward international MEC standards to support interoperability across operators.

Samsung has earned 5G RAN contracts in the U.S. with Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint, but is behind larger RAN rivals Huawei, Ericsson, and Nokia.

Over the weekend two groups released proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit codes for this vulnerability on Github. Citrix said it will issue a fix later this month.
