DOCOMO and Sumitomo Electric test real-time traffic monitoring with 5G
Sumitomo Electric Industries and NTT DOCOMO are looking to 5G to power the real-time collection and delivery of traffic information using high-definition sensors.
Tests, which are being conducted at a course within the Yokohama Works of Sumitomo Electric, use sensors installed along the course and in vehicles.
Traffic information is analyzed in real time and then fed back to drivers and pedestrians.
The vehicles are also equipped with DOCOMO 5G terminals that communicate with DOCOMO 5G base stations at the course.
Sumitomo Electric and DOCOMO will continue to develop their advanced driving-assistance system based on 5G mobile communications.

Viptela built Cloud-managed secure SD-WAN overlays. What became of it?
Viptela brought Cloud-managed secure SD-WAN overlays to Networking. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Cisco Systems for US$610M. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Cisco Systems today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.

Google/Alphabet Project Loon served 2011–2021. What ultimately replaced it?
Google/Alphabet Project Loon solar-powered balloons drifting in the stratosphere (~20 km), steering by rising and falling into different wind layers, relaying LTE from ground stations to phones far below. Its job passed to Unit economics — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
