Navini Networks WiMAX in the Jungle

January 13, 2005

I always wanted to go to Mauritius and it took me a while to find out exactly where it was located after I first learned about the existence of this almost magical island. Now I see Mauritius will have WiMAX by the time I get there. Here is an excerpt from Michelle Pasquerello, TMC's newest blogger. She will be focusing on WiMAX for now. She is also a huge Mac fan but so we'll have to wait and see if she throws an iPOD or iTunes entry in from time to time. Please welcome Michelle Pasquerello to the TMC family and syndicate her WiMAX Blog.

Here is an excerpt:

Now, ADB Networks, a major independent service and support provider, headquartered in Mauritius (officially Republic of Mauritius, 790 sq mi island in the SW Indian Ocean, surrounded by coral reefs, ringed by mountains of volcanic origin, which rise to c.2,700 ft in the southwest. The island has a tropical, rainy climate.....just to name a few facts) will have connection to the globe thanks to Navini Networks.

Cisco's Urge To Merge in VoIP

January 13, 2005

There was a time in 1998-2000 that Cisco's Peter Alexander would walk TMC expos looking for acquisition targets. Cisco acquired a number of telecom companies at the time -- from unified messaging to contact center players. I lost touch with Peter around the time the bubble burst and don't know who handles telecom acquisitions these days. Whoever is in charge... Cisco is feeling the urge to converge or is it merge? An article on Forbes web site cites Cisco's desire to acquire companies in the VoIP space. There is an excess of new companies in VoIP. I can't believe how many are now positioning themselves to be VoIP leaders. Although there will be lots of niches for new companies to grab and hold onto, acquisitions from Avaya, Cisco and others will help fuel new waves of optimism and investment in VoIP. Not that we need any more but it is simple cause and effect.
