Cisco’s Navini Acquisition

Marketwire reports that Cisco Systems has completed its acquisition of Mobile WiMAX leader Navini Networks. The acquisition is representative of Cisco’s decision to expand from the WiFi industry into WiMAX and next generation products and services.

In addition to ensuring that Cisco has a hand in newer technologies, the acquisition of Navini Networks may also help Cisco further develop its international reach.

Since WiMAX is being deployed extensively in emerging countries that previously could not integrate wired connections, Cisco now has an opportunity to provide WiMAX to these areas and expand its reach. 

According to the article, “Cisco plans to integrate Navini into its Wireless Technology Group, under the Access Networking and Services Group.” The completion of this acquisition puts Cisco on the map with Sprint, Motorola and Intel as one of the big supporters of WiMAX–providing further impetus for WiMAX deployment and development, and more big names behind a technology that is still building its reputation in the tech community.
