Cisco to end Linksys Brand

In a roundtable with the European press, John Chambers confirmed the end of the Linksys brand, replaced by Cisco.

This decision follows Cisco's move April, 2007 to make it easier for Linksys resellers to add Cisco products to their offerings. Cisco created a new division solely focused on the SMB market and headed by Rick Moran, formerly marketing chief of several Cisco communications applications. Moran was in charge of the unified communications portfolio, Cisco IPICS, Cisco Small Business Systems (Linksys One), TelePresence, Business Video and Physical security.
