From the Graveyard
You just read about Alcatel. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Xylan built Enterprise LAN switching. What became of it?
Xylan brought Enterprise LAN switching to Networking. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Alcatel for US$2B. 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 LTE. Here is what it replaced:
cdmaOne (IS-95) served 1995–2022. What ultimately replaced it?
cdmaOne (IS-95) qualcomm's code-division approach: every call was spread across a wide band with a unique code, so all users shared the same spectrum at once and the network sorted them by code, not by channel or time slot. Its job passed to LTE — 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.
