MaxComm is a leading developer of broadband Internet technology that brings data and multiple voice lines to consumers. Cisco's acquisition of MaxComm will allow service providers to offer additional voice lines and high-speed Internet access without installing new wiring in the home. MaxComm offers a hardware and software solution that uses broadband access technologies such as ADSL and cable to connect residential customers to public networks. Using MaxComm's technology, service providers can decrease their investment in closed phone systems from traditional telecommunication... companies, increase revenue by offering new data and voice services to consumers over high-speed networks and reduce the amount of time that consumers have to wait for these services. This acquisition strengthens Cisco's New World integrated data and voice strategy for service providers and their consumer customers.
