Cisco Systems is purchasing a consumer Voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) technology provider for its Linksys division, the company said today.
“The acquisition of Sipura will augment Linksys’ leading position in the rapidly growing VoIP market and is an example of Linksys’ strategy to increase internal R&D capabilities in specific product categories,” Charles Giancarlo, Cisco CTO and Cisco-Linksys president, said in a statement. “Adding Sipura’s technology reinforces our commitment to developing products in the consumer voice space.”
