Yeah yeah yeah... read the text.. Cisco is acquiring Fibex Systems to help service providers manage the migration to the New World by aggregating local telephone service and data service in a single access device. Fibex Systems' IADLC manages both circuit-based voice traffic and packet-based traffic. An integrated access device also ensures that data traffic is immediately transferred to a cell and packet network, minimizing the need for service providers to invest further in circuit switch technology. Cisco is acquiring Sentient Networks to help service providers migrate their data, voice and video services onto an integrated cell and packet switching infrastructure. NOW YOUR ORIGINAL COMMENT Pure IP can not migrate TDM to packet based network. That is obviously WRONG. Second, Do you really think that CISCO purchased these companies to migrate telephony traffic onto ATM backbones? IF you believe that I've got some land for sale. Yes these companies have products that can leverage either packet or cell based infrastructures. Now if I were a better man...taking these companies out of play and having them focus on migration to packet (IP) would then provide cicuit switched networks with only one baked solution. SO, these purchases serve to speed migration from circuit to packet while SLOWING (which I'm going to assume CISCO wants to do) the migration from circuit to ATM. Get it yet? Training day is over...
