On Tuesday, Cisco introduced the Cisco ASR 5500 platform, the industry's first elastic mobile solution that was designed to increase performance by up to 10 times. The Cisco ASR 5500 was also designed to target the three-dimensional challenges of what is becoming the "new normal", which includes the growth of mobile lifestyle devices, the desire for application freedom, and the rise of the Internet of the things.

2.) IPv6 a New Wave of Opportunities

Wednesday marked an historic date in the evolution of the Internet as the industry launches the new protocol for the Internet, IP version 6 (IPv6). Cisco is among the inaugural members of the World IPv6 launch! Learn more about our involvement here.
