Rajeev Suri Quotes

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Streaming is something that's going to require tons of billions of dollars of investment, building server farms close to users and 5G and everything else.

The Internet works thanks to loose but trusted connections among its many constituent parts, with easy entry and exit for new Internet service providers or new forms of expanding access.

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.

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.

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.

Nobody should have to be a systems integrator to make a convergence network work in their home.

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.

In general, the Internet was not designed to accommodate deliberate failures to communicate.

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

The big deal about the Internet design was you could have an arbitrary large number of networks so that they would all work together.

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

For the user, it doesn't matter whether he is getting access on Wi-Fi, 3G or 2G networks. What matters is good connectivity, and as a technology provider, our job is to hide the complexity of the technology.

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.

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

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

To realize the promise of 5G, we will need smart networks, not dumb pipes. Dumb pipes won't deliver smart cities. Dumb pipes won't enable millions of connected, self-driving cars to navigate the roads safely at the same time.

We know businesses can't compete without reliable infrastructure.

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.

The Internet had a core innovation that made it valuable: The ability to disseminate data over a distributed network in a way that was significantly cheaper than the prior methods.
