Cisco and Ericsson, two of the biggest suppliers of communications networking technology and services in the world, altered the dynamics of the industry with the announcement of a global strategic business and technology partnership that includes joint 5G, IoT, SDN & NFV and cloud R&D collaboration in emerging markets and resale and licensing agreements.
The relationship, if it can be managed successfully, should be a magnet for network operators worldwide, help secure the future of the two companies in the next-generation networking technology sector and, at the same time, give some of their rivals the cold sweats.
The partnership between the router and wireless giants, which will range from devices and sensors to core networks and data centers and include a broad range of professional services, will focus on:
- The creation of an "end-to-end product and services portfolio, and joint innovation that accelerates new business models";
- The development of "a highly secure technology architecture for seamless indoor/outdoor [wireless] networks";
- R&D that will "accelerate the platforms and services needed to digitize countries and create the Internet of Things."
