Research and Markets: Cisco - Market Opportunities, Strategies, and


Jan 14, 2003 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- Cisco is poised to benefit from the
transition from circuit switch network to IP architecture. Circuit switching is
being replaced because it is inefficient. Circuit switching depends on an
end-to-end circuit connection that leaves a lot of dead space in the network
while a single call is being handled.

Packet switching permits a single line to manage many calls simultaneously.
Cisco dominates packet network equipment markets. Frame relay, IP, and ATM are
known as packet or cell switching technologies.

Cisco dominates in the IP space.

Routers are positioned to achieve market dominance Worldwide in converged
networks. Markets at $7.9 billion in 2001 will decline significantly in 2002 and
2003 as a result of a decline in capital spending.

As the Internet proves its intrinsic value and as companies begin to achieve
improved productivity as a result of using the Internet, spending will increase
at a rapid rate. Markets are expected to reach $10.8 billion by 2007.

Cisco has a dominant position in the Internet equipment market. Cisco brings
substantial resources to the router and security markets. Market dominance has
enabled Cisco to reduce prices on its products within a short period of time
following the introduction of these products. This reduces the margins and
therefore, the profitability of its competitors.
