During its Agents Week event , Cloudflare released multiple services aimed at that problem. Together, they represent the company’s effort to extend its network infrastructure layer to cover autonomous software as a first…

The wireless networking talent shortage has become more than a hiring challenge. It is now a major driver of operational risk, security exposure, and rising incident costs, just as enterprise networks grow more complex. According to Cisco’s State of Wireless 2026 report, 86% of organizations are struggling to hire qualified wireless professionals. The same teams are being asked to support expandi…

Cisco admins are scrambling to patch a critical flash memory overflow vulnerability in over 200 Cisco Systems IOS XE-based models of wireless access points (APs), caused by a recent flawed software update. If the issue is not corrected quickly, the AP’s memory will become so flooded that new software updates will be blocked and the AP rendered insecure, or possibly even bricked. The problematic l…

Has IPv6 finally reached its day of glory? It’s fair to say that IPv6 has not had the level of take-up expected when the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) ratified it back in 1998. Take-up has been agonizingly slow, not reaching 5 percent of traffic until 2014. However, the use of IPv6 has been slowly climbing since, and according to Google statistics, briefly accounted for 50.1% of the inte…

A partnership between Broadcom and Meta could benefit other datacenter operators, as the networking company hones its expertise for supporting AI development. Meta is developing its own in-house AI chips for its exclusive use, and has extended an agreement with Broadcom to support that infrastructure, an agreement that will also provide Broadcom with the know-how to ramp up its expertise in AI ne…

Tax benefits for hyperscalers and other data center operators are costing local administrations billions of dollars. In the US, three states are already giving away more than $1 billion in potential tax revenue, while 14 are failing to declare how much data center subsidies are costing taxpayers, according to Good Jobs First. The campaign group said the failure to declare the tax subsidies goes a…

Equinix has introduced Fabric Intelligence, a service designed to automate and optimize network infrastructure as enterprises scale artificial intelligence workloads across multiple distributed locations. The new platform addresses a growing gap between AI applications, which depend on real-time connectivity across clouds, data centers, and edge locations, and legacy network architectures built a…

In the space of one week, OpenAI has pulled out of two European Stargate data center deals, one in the UK and the second in Norway. Observers attribute the move to the company taking a more disciplined approach to its massive expenses, with OpenAI executives trying to make their books look better in a common move among companies preparing to go public with an imminent IPO. In Norway, OpenAI had b…

Maine is poised to become the first US state to impose a statewide moratorium on large data center construction after lawmakers passed a bill to that effect. The bill needs to be signed by Governor Janet Mills before it can be enacted. If enacted, the law would bar state and local agencies from issuing permits or approvals for data centers drawing 20 megawatts or more of power until approximately…

Globalstar, a mobile satellite services (MSS) operator in which Apple has a 20% stake , on Tuesday announced a merger agreement with Amazon, which, pending regulatory approval, could soon bring direct to device services (D2D) services to Leo, the latter’s low Earth orbit satellite network. The deal, worth an estimated $11.6 billion, is an indication that the so-called new space race , designed to…

Cisco’s move to buy Galileo and reportedly Astrix Security is less about filling product gaps and more about rearchitecting how AI is governed, secured, and trusted across the enterprise stack. Taken together, these deals signal Cisco’s intent to lead the AI era the way it once led the internet—by making the underlying infrastructure observable, identity-aware, and inherently secure. From AI feat…
