Cisco's Masum Mir on the reality and hype of the metaverse
Manage episode 331826881 series 2851150
The story of what the so-called "metaverse" will be or should be is just getting started, and views differ widely between high expectations driven by hype and the realities of today's technologies and those on the viewable horizon.
Masum Mir, VP and GM of engineering at Cisco, recently joined the Light Reading podcast during the Cisco Live event in Las Vegas to offer some of his insights about the metaverse and its potential.
Here's a snapshot of topics discussed during this podcast:
- What's a realistic view of what the metaverse will be in the next three to five years? (1:10)
- How do the expected capabilities of the metaverse cross into the domain of 10G, the cable industry's program focusing on symmetrical 10-Gig speeds, low latency and strong security? (5:45)
- Why the Internet must evolve – rather than be "reconstructed" – to support the demands of the metaverse. (7:15)
- The expanding role of cybersecurity, from reactive one-offs to fully integrated ecosystems that are built-in during the early days of metaverse development rather than bolted on sometime down the road. (10:30)
- How Cisco's role in the cable industry has evolved as the company's attention continues to shift away from traditional access network hardware components such as amplifiers and nodes. (14:00)
