This Help Net Security interview with Tiago Rodrigues, CEO at Wireless Broadband Alliance, delves into the future of enterprise networking, exploring the significant role of Wi-Fi 6E and Private 5G. What role does Wi-Fi 6E play in enterprise connectivity, and what advanced capabilities does it offer on the 6GHz spectrum? How is the need for Private 5G in enterprise networks growing due to new IoT use cases, and what are the key drivers for Wi-Fi adoption in enterprise networks?
Tens of thousands of Viasat satellite broadband modems that were disabled in a cyber-attack some weeks ago were wiped by malware with possible links to Russia's destructive VPNFilter, according to SentinelOne. In a statement, Viasat said the researchers' hypothesis was "Consistent with the facts in our report ... SentinelLabs identifies the destructive executable that was run on the modems using a legitimate management command as Viasat previously described."
Millions of home broadband Wi-Fi routers in the UK could be at risk because many internet users do not take basic security precautions that could protect them from online threats, a research from Broadband Genie has found. In a survey of 1,320 broadband users, it was discovered that 88% have never updated their router firmware and 84% have never changed their router admin password.

Sky has fixed a flaw in six million of its home broadband routers, and it only took the British broadcaster'n'telecoms giant a year to do so, infosec researchers have said. If an attack was successful, their router would fall under the attacker's control, allowing the crook to open up ports to access other devices on the local network, change the LAN's default DNS settings to redirect browsers to malicious sites, reconfigure the gateway, and cause other general mischief and irritation.
UfiSpace launched its S9600 series open aggregation routers based on Broadcom's Qumran2c silicon. "With our previous open disaggregated solutions for the cell site, core and edge networks, service providers were able to foster innovation, reduce vendor lock-in and obtain better TCO synergies within their network," says UfiSpace CEO, Vincent Ho. "We are excited to provide our customers with even more benefits by enabling open disaggregation for their aggregation network as well."
RtBrick's pioneering IP/MPLS routing software has been validated on the latest generation of open hardware platforms, which run on a new chipset from Broadcom, known as Q2C. These high-performance bare-metal-switches take telcos into a new era of choice and scale for both their networking hardware and their software. Switches based on the new Q2C chipset have deep buffering capabilities, making them ideal for delivering complex IP services at high scale at the edge of a telco network.
Radisys introduced the Radisys Combo PON Optical Line Terminal as part of the Radisys Connect Open Broadband portfolio for broadband service providers. The complete family of Radisys OLTs includes 16 and 32-port versions-a variant of which is the Radisys white box Combo PON OLT that supports both G-PON and XGS-PON within the same PON port of the OLT. The white box OLTs are based on the VOLTHA/SEBA reference architecture and are field-hardened and scaled for commercial deployments today.
