Cisco also expanded into new markets by acquisition—one example being a 2009 purchase of mobile specialist [[Starent Networks]] for $2.9 billion, which strengthened the company's position in mobile service-provider networks by adding Starent’s packet core technology, which was widely used by carriers as the industry transitioned from 3G to LTE and 4G networks..

2013-present - paragraph 2

In April 2014, Cisco announced funding for early-stage firms to focus on the Internet of Things.

Cisco indicated that it would still collaborate with Technicolor on video products. On November 19, 2015, Cisco, alongside [[ARM Holdings]], [[Dell]], [[Intel]], [[Microsoft]] and [[Princeton University]], founded the [[OpenFog Consortium]], to promote interests and development in [[fog computing]].

Partly done Thanks for the suggestions. I implemented the copyedits and grammar fixes, but did not add wording or detail that seemed interpretive, or overly specific.
  •  Not done 2006–2012 paragraph 4 (Starent): I did not add the proposed wording about the acquisition having "strengthened" Cisco's position, since that reads as interpretive.
  •  Not done 2013–present paragraph 2 (IoT funding / Alchemist / Stratoscale): I did not add the additional Alchemist and Stratoscale detail. The San Jose link seems to be a dead link.
  •  Not done 2013–present paragraph 3 (OpenFog): I did not add the expanded description of the consortium's technical role, as that seemed too detailed and promotional for this section.
  •  Not done 2013–present paragraph 9 (Silicon One): I did not add the extra competitor detail not in the linked source WP:V
  •  Not done 2013–present paragraph 12 (Russia): I did not make the requested wording changes, due-to isn't in the source WP:V.
  •  Not done 2013–present paragraph 13 (India manufacturing): I did not add the new plant and router-model detail, as it seemed too specific for this section.
  •  Done 2013–present paragraph 15 (Splunk): I fixed the awkward wording in the sentence about EU antitrust approval.
  •  Done 2013–present paragraph 19 (2025 layoffs): I fixed the typo/wording issue in that sentence.

Hi @Sibshops! Thanks for taking the time to review these. I have updated the source in 2013 - present paragraph 2. I also corrected a typo that read 2024 and not 2014. I'm taking the rest as valid points. Thanks again for taking a look. SBCornelius (talk) 16:34, 24 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Proposing changes to the Products & Services section

[edit]

I am a connected contributor with a declared COI. I have some significant changes to propose for the Products & Services section. It is somewhat out-of-date and not representative of where the company is in 2026. My proposed changes are for the opening paragraphs of the section and then creating a more detailed and inclusive breakdown by adding additional subsections. Thank you for taking the time to review. I appreciate your feedback.

 Not done Thanks for the contribution. This adds too much detail for a products and services and reads more like promotional material instead of an encyclopedic summary. Wikipedia shouldn't provide a breakdown of Cisco's current product lines. ◦ Sibshops (talk) 17:57, 21 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Suggested edit to the Certifications and Corporate Affairs sections
