CSCO--Networking upstart goes after Cisco's market By Erich Luening Staff Writer, CNET News.com September 14, 2000, 10:00 a.m. PT Jumping into a market dominated by Cisco Systems and Juniper Networks, networking • Get the "Big Picture" • Related News • Message Boards Quote Snapshot CSCO 62.75 +1.44 JNPR 207.81 +9.19 Enter symbol: · Symbol Lookup Quotes delayed 20+ minutes software maker Ironbridge Networks is set to launch a new high-speed network routing device next week. The Lexington, Mass.-based start-up says its new device provides better performance than similar technology built by networking giant Cisco and is at a lower cost. Routers ship Internet traffic from point to point along a network at high speeds. Ironbridge joins a growing group of start-ups looking to take a bite out of the high-speed router market. Newcomers like Avici Systems, Pluris and Charlotte's Web Networks either have products on the market or have similar technologies in the works. Internet traffic carriers Qwest Communications International and the U.K.'s Energis are testing Ironbridge's new router device, a company representative said. To date, Ironbridge has received $85 million in investments. Ironbridge's terabit router allows communications-network companies to provide what it calls "virtual routing," offering dedicated networks without requiring the addition of more physical routers, a company representative said.
