Cohere Tried to Replace the Wireless Waveform. Then It Learned to Sell the Math.
The telecom industry would not rip out 5G for Cohere's elegant new waveform. So the company kept the mathematics, wrapped it in software, and found a way into the network without replacing the radios.
Ericsson
The 149-year-old Swedish firm that helped write the rules of 5G now has to prove those networks can grow again - under a new CEO and an AI-driven cost squeeze.
mmTron
mmTron is a Redwood City, California semiconductor company that designs high-performance millimeter-wave integrated circuits (MMICs).
