From the Graveyard
You just read about Ericsson. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Ranzure Networks built Cloud RAN and 5G radio access software. What became of it?
Ranzure Networks brought Cloud RAN and 5G radio access software to Wireless. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Ericsson. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Ericsson 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:
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.
