Tim Sweeney Quotes

There's nothing special about wireless networks except that wireless capacity is sometimes less than what you can get, for example, from optical fiber.

5G cell networks create a whole new wave of distributed and edge computing.

The need for mission-critical, high-performance network continues to grow as companies and public sector organizations everywhere digitize their operations.

We see opportunities in the networking and telecom space, including 5G, where we see accelerated investments.

In the earliest days, this was a project I worked on with great passion because I wanted to solve the Defense Department's problem: it did not want proprietary networking and it didn't want to be confined to a single network technology.

I want to own a network. I want to own a network where you can turn it on with your family all day long and get positive reinforcement.

It is very difficult for me to speculate as to how long it will take for the LTE-TDD ecosystem to mature. Of course, the whole industry is speaking of scale and a combination of scale in order to get more efficiency in the ecosystem.

Traditional PCs face competition from specialty products like Palm Pilots and from the servers that provide the nodes in computer networks. Microsoft's Windows CE hasn't done too well in the specialty-device market, and its Windows NT faces strong competition for server customers.

The next Internet could be in the making somewhere in someone's lab.

The Internet was developed in large part by U.S. government research funding to develop new communications networks, starting with a network created by the Department of Defense.

Unlike the phone system, which is engineered around an application, the Internet layered model allows you to, in essence, separate applications from infrastructure.

The Internet is a computing platform built on top of core technology. Applied technology is what gets built on top of that: It's Web services.

Regardless of the technology, we at Cisco believe that there is a need to 'connect the unconnected,' whether it is using 3G, 4G or Wi-Fi. We are working on enabling heterogeneous access across different technologies. The basic need to 'connect to unconnected' still remains.

Companies that are hosting Web sites or do a lot of teleconferencing need a lot of bandwidth going both ways.

I'm a realist about how the networks work.

Broadband companies can have great success offering access to the unfettered Internet.

Telco cloud and virtualization remain a clear priority for us, and we became the first vendor to supply a commercial telco cloud solution compliant with ETSI Architecture for end-to-end voice-over-LTE services.

We don't know which use cases will ultimately be the most important for 5G, but we know that early adopters tend to get a sustainable advantage.

I'm a big believer in using the best IP for a given application.

Gigabit LTE will be an important technology evolution because that puts demands on the rest of the network to basically be - 5G-ify it.

Having run Tellme before, one of the things I learned about running a big network is it's one thing to have some people not be able to get on the way they want to get on, but as long as people who are on the network are having a good experience, you're totally cool.

Second, we're spending a huge amount of money on technology so that everyone can check out laptops and portable phones. We're spending more money to write our existing information into databases or onto CD-ROM.

AIR was born from thinking about how rich Internet applications would play out over time and what new pieces of technology would be in demand for these to go to their next generation.

Older generations of Wi-Fi weren't quite robust enough to deliver video in the home without breaking up and losing packets and so forth. 5G Wi-Fi gives you extended reach, extended data rates, and more robust coverage.

Technology is like water; it wants to find its level. So if you hook up your computer to a billion other computers, it just makes sense that a tremendous share of the resources you want to use - not only text or media but processing power too - will be located remotely.
