I would say that in general, Cisco is a very strong research and development organization.

Things that we need to learn are the importance of establishing brand, establishing market presence. Technology-wise, it's things like ease of use, user interfaces; all of these things that tend to be less important in our other business segments are important things for us in the consumer market.

The Internet and new networking requirements are enough of a disruptor for us to enter a new market.

We think of it as a very new capability inside unified communications.

Under command and control, these different radio systems can interoperate with one another.

The same technology to stop malicious hosts can also be used to block a server. The Chinese government uses that capability to block servers.

Cisco views IP as the future for all communications systems. Cisco IPICS technology has the potential to deliver a platform to provide an inexpensive solution for pervasive radio interoperability that helps organizations dynamically manage the flow of all types of information.
