“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.

"This is where the market is going, bringing [secure access service edge] and your next-generation firewall together,” Fortinet VP Nirav Shah said.

The pair are also partnering with Palo Alto Networks to integrate a multi-factor, zero-trust security model into the private wireless package.

The Viptela platform joins Cisco's Meraki in being deployable using the vendor's secure access service edge platform.

“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 service is an opportunity to "establish a baseline" and then evolve over time to a secure access service edge, Windstream's Chris Alberding said.

Prosperity7 Executive Managing Director Aysar Tayeb stated it's backing Arrcus as a “disruptive leader” in this space.

The updates allows network management teams to implement a network fabric’s policy across all sites and use hyper-segmentation to bolster security.

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

The platform blends encryption, anonymization, cryptography, data masking, and vaultless tokenization to protect data.

The deal will connect Sentrisense IoT sensors to Sateliot's satellite constellation for data retrieval.

The provider saw mid-teens growth percentages for Q4, which one investor said "implies it could be flattish and even down this quarter."

Dish Network closed a $1.5 billion funding round to bankroll its 5G network build, and Microsoft announced a multibillion-dollar investment in OpenAI.

Amazon, Google, IBM, Microsoft, Salesforce, and SAP all announced job cuts this month due to various factors including economic uncertainty.

Tapping Prisma SASE, the service offers "a fully managed end-to-end network with cloud security features," NTT SVP Aishwarya Singh said.

Cisco hired a former VMware exec; AT&T made headway on its 5G and fiber expansion plans; and Gartner gave its SASE predictions for 2023.

The disaster prevention and recovery capabilities are built on its security service edge and zero-trust platform.

The lab faces two challenges: scaling public-cloud applications for smaller edge clouds, and managing device quantity and flexibility, VP Ragu Masilamany said.

The Q-CTRL investment news came on the heels of Salesforce’s 10% workforce cuts and recent leadership changes.
