LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - January 7, 2008) - International CES 2008 -- Cisco® (NASDAQ : CSCO ) today unveiled its Internet Protocol (IP) Services Gateway (Model
DRG2800) which is designed to expand consumers' entertainment and personal
content choices and bring network-based and home-based applications
together in one device. With this product, consumers can use their set-top
and large-screen, flat-panel televisions to watch videos, listen to
downloaded music in surround sound, and view photos accessed from their PC.
The Cisco® IP Services Gateway provides consumers with a single device
that easily connects to the in-home personal computer (PC) via Ethernet and
to a digital set-top using coax cable. Then, to multiple devices throughout
the home, this all-in-one product is capable of managing and delivering a
variety of services including high-speed Internet, wired and wireless home
networking, file and data storage (including video and music) from its
160-gigabyte hard drive, and voice/telephone service.
"The Cisco IP Services Gateway represents a significant inflection point
where consumers can use a single device to access both the Internet and all
of its user-generated content, and the service providers' managed video
content network," said JT Taylor, director of product marketing at
Scientific Atlanta, a Cisco company. "Our new IP Services Gateway is part
of Cisco's consumer initiative to create compelling visual
networking experiences where streaming digital video technology and social
networking merge. It's not that you are connected. People worldwide are
connected. It's what you do with the connection. Our focus now includes
distribution of the next wave of consumer visual and multimedia networking
experiences. With its Internet Protocol Next-Generation Network (IPNGN),
Cisco can uniquely help consumers discover content, people and services.
The Cisco IP Services Gateway will be on display at the International
Consumer Electronics Show, Jan. 7-10, 2008 at the Las Vegas Convention
Center, North Hall Room N246.
Evaluation/test units are scheduled to be available to our service provider
customers by the end of first quarter in 2008.
