The vendor's zero-trust partners include Juniper Networks, Maryland Innovation Security Institute, Nvidia, Palo Alto Networks and VMware.

The updated model incorporates version 1.0 feedback from a public comment period and the latest government guidelines.

The updated core IP backbone will support the carrier’s service-level agreement-capable network slicing services.

"What the neural network is learning is more and more aspects of the world of people, of the human conditions," OpenAI co-Founder Ilya Sutskever said.

The trial was conducted in SoftBank’s AI-to-5G Lab, which it constructed last year with help from Nvidia.

The E2 work basically taps into the near real-time xApps running in a radio access network intelligent controller to optimize a RAN deployment.

The work comes as a new Dell’Oro Group report indicated Ericsson exited 2022 just behind Nokia in worldwide telecom equipment sales.

The FortiGate 70F Rugged NGFW is built for harsh environments typically encountered in operational technology.

The public preview comes as rivals Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud continue to push similar efforts targeting the global telecom market.

The solution offers unified management of the vendor's firewalls, 5G, and operational technology security product combinations based on customers' needs.

The companies said the work is “well suited for high-accuracy radio sensing, which will likely be another key feature of 6G.”

“This is one of the biggest growth segments as we start thinking in terms of where 5G-based deployments are heading,” Qualcomm's Durga Malladi said.

“It's a business tool that allows you to program your network the way you want to meet your business needs,” Mavenir's Brandon Larson said.

The NR-Light specification limits spectrum use to 20 megahertz for sub-6 GHz bands and 100 megahertz for millimeter-wave spectrum.

The vendor's Duo Risk-Based Authentication delivers "on [Cisco's] promise of frustrating attackers, but not frustrating users,” SVP Tom Gillis said.

The Department of Defense's demand for 5G open architecture “is nascent but getting stronger,” AT&T Defense Business Lead Lance Spencer said.

Acquisitions "will be needed to position Ericsson" to transition toward a net-zero emissions economy, according to the vendor.

The carrier added India’s Saankhya Labs to its growing list of partners tackling the open radio access network silicon development market.

The service brings together Google Cloud’s BeyondCorp Enterprise and Palo Alto Networks' Prisma Access platforms.

The Swedish vendor said it will employ 20 dedicated researchers and support additional doctoral students to work on the project.

NetApp also targets cyber resilience by unifying control of data security based on an integrated zero-trust model.

The group will develop scalable and modular end-to-end infrastructure that can be used to test extended reality applications.

The latest push continues what has been aggressive moves by European countries and operators to secure domestic networks and expand the vendor base.

The move ensures enterprises and operators can reap the full benefits of a "cloudified network," Infovista CTO Yann Le Helloco said.
