Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO) made some significant additions to its product portfolio Tuesday in the area of broadband aggregation, Internet Protocol (IP) communications products for converged network infrastructure, and by expanding the selection of 10Gbps interfaces for its 12000 series of Internet routers.
Cisco also teamed with Toronto-based Bell Canada to provide Converged Desktop technology for added IP telephony products and services to Bell Managed Solutions customers. According to Cisco, the 'Converged Desktop' eliminates the need to maintain separate voice and data networks and exploits the flexibility of Internet Protocol to support multimedia applications such as unified messaging.
