Intel Acquires Rivet Networks: Killer Networking is all in for Team Blue
Context for headline:
‘Rivet's CEO Mike Cubbage will now be Intel's Senior Director of Connectivity Innovations.’
‘I did ask a question about the integration, given how when Rivet/Bigfoot Networks was acquired by Qualcomm and then had to spin out again in order to drive the product, I was worried Intel might do the same. Mike told me that Rivet's Killer brand strengths back then, and even today, are in the PC and Gaming space, which perfectly aligns with what Intel is focused on. This is different to the previous acquisition, where is was more of a business portfolio play, but this time around Intel looks set on developing the Killer technology into a wide variety of products at scale, something which Rivet wasn't able to do previously.’
