Industrial Networking Solutions Industry Overview
The industrial networking solutions market is fragmented as the market consists of significant players, which include Cisco Systems, Inc., Juniper Networks, Inc., Dell EMC (Dell Technologies Inc.), Sierra Wireless, Inc., etc. The companies operating in the market continuously strive to launch new solutions for industries that ensure seamless network connectivity and are also forming mergers and partnerships to increase their presence.
- April 2020 - Cisco announced the intent to acquire privately-held Fluidmesh Networks, a provider wireless backhaul system. Fluidmesh will further extend Cisco's industrial wireless networking offerings to industries with moving assets and applications in situations where reliable backhaul is mission-critical. Cisco's scale, coupled with Fluidmesh's solution-based offerings and relationships with systems integrators, will accelerate Cisco's IIoT business to enable successful industrial wireless networking deployments and widen its reach to various partners and end-users.
- May 2020 - Dell Technologies announced Enterprise SONiC Distribution by Dell Technologies, a new set of fully supported open-source networking solutions. As industries are increasingly relying on modern hybrid cloud models to do business, the historically monolithic and proprietary approach to networking has created inefficiencies and unneeded complexity. Dell Technologies is building off the work Microsoft Corporation spearheaded as part of the Software for Open Networking in the Cloud (SONiC) open-source project.
