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 Bluetooth. Here is what it replaced:
IrDA (infrared) served 1993–2000. What ultimately replaced it?
IrDA (infrared) short-range, line-of-sight data links using modulated infrared LEDs between devices (up to 4 Mbit/s), needing direct aim and close proximity. Its job passed to Bluetooth — 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.
