You just read about Verizon. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
XO Communications built Competitive local, metro fiber and enterprise network operator. What became of it?
XO Communications brought Competitive local, metro fiber and enterprise network operator to Telecom. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Verizon for US$1.8B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Verizon today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about LTE. Here is what it replaced:
iDEN served 1994–2013. What ultimately replaced it?
iDEN motorola's TDMA system that layered digital cellular voice, data, and near-instant push-to-talk (Direct Connect) onto fragmented SMR radio channels. 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.
