Oracle (Nasdaq:ORCL) doesn't do things halfway, and when the company announced its acquisition of Acme Packet (Nasdaq:APKT)
it looked like only the beginning of the company's strategy to exploit
the large telecom vertical. Now we know that the company really is
serious, as it has followed the Acme Packet deal with an announcement
that it intends to acquire networking vendor Tekelec from its private
equity owners.
A Complimentary Deal With Interesting IP Ramifications
Right off the bat, acquiring Tekelec makes quite a bit of sense. Tekelec
is a telecom equipment vendor that specializes in products that handle
mobile traffic. In particular, the company focuses on areas like network
signaling, policy control, and subscriber data management. Combined
with Acme Packet's network control products/technology, Oracle will
offer a cohesive hardware/software line-up in network control for large
carrier customers like Verizon (NYSE:VZ) and AT&T (NYSE:T).
