From the Graveyard
You just read about Alcatel. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Packet Engines built Gigabit Ethernet switches. What became of it?
Packet Engines brought Gigabit Ethernet switches to Networking. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Alcatel for US$315M. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Alcatel today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
From the Technology Graveyard
You just read about DSL. Here is what it replaced:
AT&T Project Angel served 1997–2002. What ultimately replaced it?
AT&T Project Angel delivered home phone and broadband over fixed wireless - a rooftop antenna to a neighborhood base station - to bypass the incumbent's copper local loop entirely. Its job passed to DSL — 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.
