Media Alert

SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 19, 2000 - Cisco Systems will host a conference call and webcast, with corresponding slide presentation, on Friday, January 21, 2000, at 1:30 PM (PST), highlighting its Multiservice Switching Business Unit. Financial Analysts and Cisco Investors are invited to participate.

Please join Brad Wurtz, Vice President and General Manager of the Multiservice Switching Business Unit (MSSBU), as he describes how the MSSBU offers solutions to the major problems facing carriers today. Market forces are driving service providers to change their investment and service strategy. Carriers are faced with a paradox: how to meet demand for today's services while investing in a packet network strategy that will deliver new revenues and profits. Mr. Wurtz will discuss these market forces and the products and solutions that the MSSBU offers that enable carriers to cap their investment in circuit-based technology, meeting demand for today's services with an investment in packet networks.

No previously unannounced issues will be discussed in these calls.
