(SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 22, 2001

Cisco Systems, Inc., the worldwide leader in networking for the Internet, today announced the availability of new IAD2400 Series -- a family of Smart Integrated Access Devices (IADs) for service providers which dramatically reduce the time and cost of delivering managed data and voice services to small and medium businesses (SMBs).

The Smart IAD2400 customer premise equipment (CPE) devices are the first and only IADs that provide a proven seamless service migration from circuit-switched voice to packet-switched Next Generation IP services. IAD2400 Series significantly reduces the installation costs with the industry's first Simple Network-enabled Auto Provisioning (SNAP)(TM) technologies. The first product in this family, the IAD2420, is currently in early stages of nationwide deployment with several next-generation service providers who are deploying unique bundles of data and voice services.

Competition among service providers has created a surge in demand for intelligence at the network edge. Cost savings and revenue-generating services are crucial to gaining a competitive edge and for long-term success. Cisco's new IAD2420 defines a brand new class of multi-purpose Smart IADs for a diverse set of architectures. Unlike existing IADs in the market, the IAD2400 Series offers rich IP data services, SNAP auto-installation technology, multiple bearer and signaling voice technologies, enabling a seamless transition to packet-based networks while expanding revenue opportunities for service providers.)
