Will Cisco Acquire Navini Networks?
According to information on Unstrung, Cisco is poised to make its move into WiMax before the end of the month, with Navini Networks Inc. the favorite target.
Cisco is expected to buy Navini within the next few weeks, according to ThinkEquity Partners analyst Anton Wahlman and a private equity source, who asked not to be named. ThinkEquity has already issued a report saying that Navini is the most likely target for Cisco, in part because of the startup's use of "beamforming" technology for WiMax, which can help increase directional signal strengh from WiMax base-station radios.
Unstrung also recently reported on Cisco's interest in buying up a WiMax base-station vendor. Among the vendors that Cisco is said to have looked at are Navini, Airspan Networks Inc., Alvarion Ltd. , and Redline Communications Inc. Other industry sources are also aware that Cisco has been sniffing around WiMax of late.
