Acme Packet: A Good Fit for Cisco

Perhaps it is because of many of the recent acquisitions by Cisco have been all about enhancing the capabilities and usage of bandwidth. Voice and Video are the hotspot and Acme Packet provides the equipment just for that need. Think of your relationship with the internet over the past year. How much more streaming video and audio do you consume? How about Voice-Over-IP – Skype etc? How about video chats? This is prime ground for Cisco to be hunting, and perhaps a good fit.

Acme Packet is the leader in session border control solutions for delivering trusted, first-class unified communications and collaboration. We enable the delivery of interactive communications—voice, video and multimedia sessions—and data services across IP network borders.
