The update extends machine learning into the platform’s health and analytics application to support “optical fiber sensing.”

And its Dish Network subsidiary filed paperwork that its 5G network provides download speeds of at least 35 Mb/s to 70% of the U.S. population.

CEO Hock Tan stated that VMware's Cloud Foundation "is our platform for innovation going forward.”

“On the bright side, regional dynamics were more favorable outside of the U.S.,” Dell'Oro Group's Stefan Pongratz explained.

The Secure Flex Premium platform is a single-tenant architecture that can be deployed on top of an existing on-premises, hybrid or cloud environment.

Broadcom CEO Hock Tan said the integration has “been very successful so far,” though he did add “now that kinks have been worked out.”

The networking giant is coming off a rough fiscal quarter and plans to cut thousands of jobs.

The struggling carrier also lost a pair of executives and is cutting more jobs.

The AI-RAN Alliance's goal is to steer radio access network use for better performance, lower operating costs, greater efficiencies and to support new business models.

A service trial was able to activate eSIM profile groups with local 5G connectivity provisioned according to an employee’s demographic and data usage.

Amazon Web Services says it continues to see steady progress in discussions with operators looking to tap into a hybrid cloud architecture.

The latest work with telcos is around service assurance and the open radio access network intelligent controller.

The deal continues Broadcom CEO Hock Tan's plans to shed what he calls "non-core" VMware assets.

The most recent new products revolve around automation and virtualized radio access network technologies.

The clientless platform ties into a SIM card and is the same as one T-Mobile launched last fall.

The proof-of-concept will run Cisco hardware and software that Dish is already using in its cloud-native 5G standalone network.

“Our shared commitment to delivering Azure VMware Solution to customers is as strong as ever," Microsoft's Brett Tanzer noted.

The move bolsters long-running efforts by both vendors.

The trial used Nokia’s 5G edge slicing platform integrated with Microsoft Azure managed edge compute to support real-time high-definition streaming.

The successful tests are also key open radio access network momentum milestones for both companies.

The test was conducted across the 6,234-kilometer long Amitié submarine cable that connects the United States, United Kingdom and France.

VMware offers two versions of the update: Advanced and Enterprise, following the recently unveiled post-Broadcom acquisition licensing and support structure.
