Coherent technology allows you to send optical signals over long distances, such as between two data centers in a city, or even across a country

WiFi 6 won’t be standardized until later this year, but development momentum continues as operators and enterprises prepare for the formal release.

The vendor developed what it calls internet isolation technology. This separates an enterprise network from the public web while still allowing employees to access the internet seamlessly.

However, the operator has acknowledged that it is not immune to the security concerns linked to the use of Chinese 5G equipment. CEO Martin Peronnet said it was “worrying”

Dublin adds a broadband service blueprint and new 5G and cross-carrier virtual private network features.

The ONEx technology uses a patented algorithm designed to improve the exchange and transmission of data across global enterprise networks.

Acacia, an existing Cisco supplier, makes high-speed optical interconnect products for cloud and service providers and data center operators.

Google forcefully denies report about discussions with Dish Network to acquire yet-to-be divested Sprint assets.

The new SD-WAN network will initially be deployed across Sony’s film and electronics businesses, but the companies plan to reach all of Sony’s business units in the coming years.

The acquisition includes KPN International’s long-haul fiber routes and metro rings in London, Amsterdam, Paris, and Frankfurt, Germany and will expand GTT’s network across 21 European countries.

The caching appliance, called Azure FXT Edge Filer, provides high throughput and low latency to support high-performance computing workloads.

Cisco is also providing equipment for the network core, while Nokia is being phased out of the carrier’s radio access network plans.

IBM ranks among the top three contributors in terms of code commits to open source projects, says CTO Chris Ferris. “We don’t run around with the vanity metrics the

Aviatrix CEO challenges Cisco, VMware; Cumulus loses its CTO and co-founder; and CloudGenix and Versa claim their SD-WANs trounce Cisco's.

Exabeam, Stellar Cyber, and Chronicle announced significant deals and product news this past week aimed at displacing the old guard and pulling a bigger piece of the lucrative $124

The interconnection giant has been looking for a partner to help finance these hyperscale facilities for about a year. It found this partner in GIC, Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund.

The updates ensure interoperability between a 3GPP-defined management system and ETSI’s NFV Management and Orchestration (MANO) system.

The China-based vendor is still likely to face U.S. opposition over its involvement in 5G networks.

The test deployed Microsoft’s cloud services at the edge, and makes the business case for AT&T’s 5G network, said Ofer HaCohen, director of AT&T Foundry in Israel.

The interoperability test between 5G Standalone Core and 3GPP standards for network slicing and other technologies was a first in South Korea and for the operator and vendor.

“There’s many companies that call themselves SD-WAN companies, but candidly they’re service providers leveraging somebody else’s tech,” says Versa Networks CEO Kelly Ahuja.

The partnership will reduce the time and costs associated with operationalizing VNFs, anticipate VNF technical requirements, and bring telecom operators into the innovation loop.

The Sweden-based vendor highlights involvement in 11 live contracts, but Huawei and Nokia remain in the mix and Samsung seems to be gaining traction.

The partners “have other sites planned, and we are currently working to replicate what we’ve done at a much larger scale,” said Jacob Smith, chief marketing officer at Packet.
