The $29.2 billion networking equipment supplier Cisco, is all set to tap the mobility market which is expected to touch $13 billion by 2010. The company is globally launching (including India) the Cisco 3300 Series Mobility Services Engine (MSE) on Thursday. The appliance-based platform will offer an open application programming interface (API) for consolidating and supporting an array of mobility services across wireless and wired networks. ?Mobility? is the ability to connect any device to any content at any time, anywhere in any mode, that is, across a combination of networks.
At a recent media briefing Maciej Kranz, vice president-marketing, wireless networking business unit, Cisco Systems said, ?We see a huge opportunity for Cisco with its MSE and with this, we will enable our clients to leverage on mobility experience with Wi-Fi, cellular, passive RFID, personal wireless, sensors and ethernet.? The company has shipped almost 5 million Wi-Fi access points across the globe.
Kranz said, ?India is the fastest growing and third largest market for the company. It is the second largest revenue generator for us in the APAC region and so it is extremely important part of our strategy.?
