Ramana Kompella explained that traditional routing methods such as TCP/IP are not suitable for quantum networks because they rely on classical physics. Quantum networks utilize entanglement, where endpoints are connected using entangled photon pairs, allowing for instantaneous information transfer once entanglement is established.
More than 230 different models of Cisco Wi-Fi access points may be writing 5MB a day of nonessential data, filling their onboard flash memory to the point at which they lack space for future software updates.
The networking giant discussed the price hikes on its Q2 2026 earnings call, during which CEO Chuck Robbins said Cisco has already announced price increases and will "continue to monitor market trends and make additional adjustments as necessary." The CEO said Cisco is also "revising contractual terms with channel partners and customers to address evolving component prices," and is using its scale to "help us negotiate favorable terms and secure supply to fulfill current and future demand."
The computer networking giant sold the buildings for $63 million to South Bay Development, a veteran real estate firm, according to documents filed on Dec. 19 with the Santa Clara County Recorder's Office. Cisco Systems sold four north San Jose office buildings with addresses of 260, 300, and 350 East Tasman Drive, and 3750 Zanker Road, as well as two parking garages in the vicinity, the county documents show.
Aging digital infrastructure equipment like routers, network switches, and network-attached storage-has long posed a silent risk to organizations. In the short term, it's cheaper and easier to just leave those boxes running in a forgotten closet. But this infrastructure may have old, insecure configurations, and legacy tech is often no longer supported by vendors for software patches and other protections.
The acquisition should help organizations build, train, and deploy specific AI models and Small Language Models (SLMs) within their own infrastructure. NeuralFabric's technology should primarily ensure that the new AI Canvas has an even more solid foundation. The future of AI models lies at least as much in small models as in large ones. To make AI truly interesting within organizations, we don't need another generic model, but rather more specialized models and SLMs.
It's finally, officially, over. On Wednesday, Nov. 12, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to end the longest (43 days) U.S. government shutdown in history by a vote of 222-to-209, echoing the verdict of the U.S. Senate that voted 60-to-40 on Monday to do the same thing. When President Trump signed off on the law late Wednesday evening, the shutdown ended.
Cisco updated its advisory regarding critical vulnerabilities in Identity Services Engine, acknowledging active exploitation. Some vulnerabilities were attempted to be exploited in the wild as of July 2025.
Cisco has released patches for a maximum-severity security flaw in Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM) and Unified Communications Manager Session Management Edition (Unified CM SME).
