Chuan Cisco products is indeed a major all-round set-top box

According to foreign media report today, science and technology blog SiliconAngle expected to, Cisco Tuesday will release a major product in fact is a set-top box similar to Apple AppleTV.

versatile set-top box

SiliconAngle is expected that the product is made ScientificAtlanta technology development. Four years ago, Cisco's acquisition of ScientificAtlanta, and have been for cable operators to sell the company's set-top box products, but not yet take advantage of this platform to launch consumer-grade products.

SiliconAngle believe that this new set-top box will be an all-round product that will bring TiVo digital video camera, Internet streaming video, Internet access, wireless networks, and telepresence video conferencing system and other functions into一起. In addition, the product will also provide a lot of storage space to prepare for home entertainment purposes.

Cisco previously announced, will be released March 9 local time, an important announcement, and will permanently change the Internet and its users, businesses and government influence. Although Cisco has not yet disclosed details, but industry insiders believe that Cisco's products that this release will be fully demonstrated the firm's end technology on the Internet a great vision, which will include a number of new infrastructure products, will also include a number of household consumption electronic equipment.

Cisco previously have said that would be true for home users to test network systems. The company currently only for large companies to sell high-end telepresence systems.

market research firm Yankee Group (YankeeGroup), senior vice president Zeus Klava (ZeusKerravala) said: This is indeed possible. Cisco's acquisition of ScientificAtlanta reasons are not just to enter the traditional set-top box market. This is a departure from the company's routers and switches business.

other forecasts

In addition, Cisco may also be announced at the press conference with a number of service providers to launch high-speed home Internet access services, and provide bandwidth of up to 100Gb Ethernet router. Cisco Systems will build on these new products and cooperation agreements to further expand the company's business.

Cisco's conference will be the U.S. Pacific Time, Tuesday 8 am start. The company has invited a few weeks ago on the media to participate in this conference. As earlier in the same week Google announced that it would create an independent ultra-high speed fiber-optic network broadband services, many technology blog initially thought that Cisco may release an ultra-high speed fiber-optic network to test its ultra-high-speed broadband technology. However, Cisco has not comment on this rumor, but said the company will continue to cooperate with operators, rather than compete.

There are people in the industry, Cisco may release some products to help mobile operators evolve their networks to a 4G technology. Cisco's previous major cable network operators to provide the infrastructure, but the company recently acquired a company called StarentNetworks, the company specializes in helping mobile operators, wireless network and wired network connections together.

With this acquisition is very important for Cisco because the company can take to fill the technology gaps. Prior to the acquisition StarentNetworks, Cisco can not provide mobile operators with end to end solution, but its competitors with this technology. For example, the Alcatel-Lucent and Ericsson has already provided before a similar wireless Internet access infrastructure, and Cisco's acquisition of StarentNetworks until after the access to this technology. With this technology, Cisco's competitors in the end be able to start against the market.

Klava said: Cisco at this time a large-scale wireless network platform is an appropriate time. However, he believes that such products can not be a permanent change in the Internet. He said: I can not imagine this new product will be so affected. This is a bold statement. But I think that Cisco hopes in the consumer-level networking and wireless markets will be recognized, so the companies are likely to be deliberately hype. The specific situation but also to wait until after the start of Cisco's conference in order to see the outcome.
