From the Graveyard
You just read about Ciena. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Omnia Communications built Optical access and multiservice transport. What became of it?
Omnia Communications brought Optical access and multiservice transport to Optical. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Ciena for US$980M. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Ciena today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
From the Technology Graveyard
You just read about All. A technology from the archive that helped get us here:
FDDI-II served 1990–1990. What ultimately replaced it?
FDDI-II added isochronous, circuit-switched channels to FDDI so it could carry voice and video alongside data. It has largely passed into history, but the ideas it proved still shape the networks that followed. Its name rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
