Cisco Systems Inc. closed on its $6.9 billion purchase of Scientific-Atlanta Inc. Monday.
The cable-set-top, headend and transmission-equipment vendor is now part of Cisco’s router- and service-provider-technology group, with S-A chairman Jim McDonald reporting to Mike Volpi, senior vice president of Cisco.
At some point, current S-A “Explorer” set-tops will sport a new phrase: “Scientific-Atlanta, a Cisco Company,” similar to the moniker on Linksys routers.
The companies believe they will be able to provide broadband-service providers with the equipment to offer such converged services as programming a digital-video recorder from a cellular phone and answering video calls on the television set.
