Cisco shifts into WiMax
Cisco announced plans to purchase Navini Networks, a manufacturer of mobile WiMax wireless networking equipment, reports Internet News.
Under the terms of yesterday`s agreement, Cisco will pay $330 million in cash and assumed stock options for the company. The acquisition is scheduled to close by the end of January.
Once finalised, the deal will complete the networking giant`s change in its thinking on WiMax, placing Cisco squarely into the wireless metropolitan network market and potentially pushing it into competition with 3G wireless network providers.
