Companies mentioned
Overview of Recent Activity
Organizations across cloud, security, networking, and defense moved to operationalize AI-enabled capabilities, managed security offerings, and higher-capacity connectivity. EXL expanded a code migration solution with Databricks. Proficio launched a Cisco-backed Managed XDR service. Nokia conducted 5G deployments during Joint Viking 2025. CISA and partners released SIEM and SOAR implementation guidance and AI data security guidance.
Key Themes and Developments
Technology Releases & Product Enhancements
Nokia introduced a co-existence solution enabling operators to “simultaneously run 10G, 25G, and 50G PON services over the same fiber network,” said Geert Heyninck. Nokia said the co-existence network element helps operators maximize existing fiber by adding PON technologies “without disrupting current services.”
EXL introduced a migration solution aimed at easing transitions from SAS to the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. EXL’s Code Harbor is equipped with Generative AI capabilities to automate “significant aspects of migrating codebases into modern cloud environments,” according to the source content.
Partnerships & Ecosystem Engagement
EXL expanded collaboration with Databricks to introduce a migration solution that uses EXL’s Code Harbor. The source content said the collaboration was intended to ease transitions from SAS to the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform and to automate parts of enterprise code transformation.
TERAGO partnered with Ericsson to deliver Advanced Enterprise Private 5G solutions throughout Canada through Ericsson’s 5-star partner program. Daniel Vucinic, CEO and President at TERAGO, said, “As organizations across Canada seek to improve productivity and strengthen security, we're excited to bring a private 5G solution to our customers.”
Infrastructure, Platform, or Deployment Updates
Nokia deployed 5G technology during Joint Viking 2025 in Norway, collaborating with industry partners to enhance tactical communication among multinational forces. The event involved “over 10,000 troops from nations including Norway, Canada, and France,” per the source content. Nokia’s technology included AirScale radio products and 5G Standalone Core.
Proficio launched its ProSOC Managed Extended detection and response (XDR) service that includes “24x7 threat detection and active response through its Security Operations (SecOps) Center.” The offering became available for purchase starting May 6, 2025.
