@bc Sooo ... what is Qunnect doing ?
Nvidia has something else in mind for Nokia. You become the #2 shareholder when you want to influence the company in a serious way.
Chuckie can stop talking about 5g and 6g and anyone working on it can be LR'd now. Cisco totally boxed out and beyond irrelevant thanks to amazing executive leadership and zero investments anywhere to save money.
Cisco was irrelevant yesterday before this deal
Cisco will be irrelevant tomorrow after this deal
No one that matters ever utters the word "Cisco", unless they are at the Computer History Museum
@ay CP, that you? What about if we marry quantum with Agentic AI? :-) Quantum networking is at least 10 if not 20 if not forever years away. Quantum computing is not even matured yet. Quantum networks, if they happen, will run on top of existing networks till further notice because a quantum stack has not yet been established, leave alone standardised. Stop smoking whatever it is you are smoking and go back to trimming your eyebrows CP.
Quantum will rewrite networking. Either we will lead or be left behind.
Cisco being boxed out..as expected. They probably paid NVIDIA to list them as a partner too similar to the Best Place pay to play.
@a6 ...everyone had similar thoughts about Nvidia buying Mellanox.. look what happened there. Cisco should be very worried about this partnership.
it'll complement Cisco/Nvidia, not compete with it.
