Nortel is in the process of offloading a number of its product divisions following financial troubles, while RIM is allegedly willing to pay approximately $1.1 billion for the CDMA and Long Term Evolution Access businesses, along with "certain other Nortel asset... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/20/nortel.blocking.rim.bids/ Tue, 21 Jul 2009 03:55:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/21/ericsson.announces.cuts/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0901/sonyericssonxperiax1-5.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Swedish network hardware maker Ericsson on Wednesday announced it will cut 5,000 worldwide jobs as its profits in the fourth quarter dropped by 31 percent, or about $202 million. The decline is said to be caused by restructuring charges and weaker handset sales, as its Sony Ericsson partnership last week announced its own fourth-quarter losses, shipping 6.2 percent less phones than in previous yea... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/21/ericsson.announces.cuts/ Wed, 21 Jan 2009 21:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/11/nortel.4x.bandwidth.tech/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0803/nortel.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Canada's Nortel is deploying a new network technology, one which it claims will at least quadruple the current bandwidth of most telecom companies. Reuters notes that while most companies are able to handle 10Gbps on their networks -- enough for 1,000 HDTV channels -- Nortel's new optical scheme supports as much as 40Gbps, without dramatic upgrades to a network. With enough investment, Nortel su... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/11/nortel.4x.bandwidth.tech/ Tue, 11 Mar 2008 19:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/07/12/31/vonage.nortel.settle.spat/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0712/gavel.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Canada's Nortel is the latest to settle a patent dispute with VoIP carrier Vonage, Reuters reports. Unlike the company's recent legal problems, however, Vonage was in this case the originator, having inherited a 2004 lawsuit when it bought Digital Packet Licensing in 2006; in question were patents relating to 411 and 911 services, along with so-called "click-to-call" technology. Nortel filed a c... http://www.macnn.com/articles/07/12/31/vonage.nortel.settle.spat/ Mon, 31 Dec 2007 17:25:00 GMT
