- woodrow 16y agoCisco sells way more than just routers these days, perhaps as part of their hedge strategy after 2001. Mostly through acquisitions maybe, but it's still impressive. Examples that come to mind include Linksys (home networking), Scientific Atlanta (cable TV & broadband gear), WebEx, and Tandberg (video conferencing).

- dominostars 16y agoEnterprise routers and switches are still Cisco's bread and butter; sales in software and consumer products can hardly be enough to compensate for a downward trend that may only exist because people aren't buying as many CRS boxes.
