Cisco Systems is the leading manufacturer of network routers

Cisco Systems is the leading manufacturer of network routers in terms of market share.  Over the past 10 years, the network router has rapidly evolved from a device designed to connect networks into an integrated services router, which is capable of many functions beyond simple network routing. Increasingly, Cisco's customers are installing integrated services routers which can deliver data, video, voice and internet access, wireless, and many other applications

Cisco Router Wireless LANs can be a very cost-effective solution for business. Compared to the installation costs of wired LAN, substantial savings are evident, especially when it comes to connections between separate buildings. Copper wire will not suffice over such distances due to conductivity limitations and the cost of fibre-optic cabling can be prohibitive. Cisco Switch wireless access bridges efficiently conduct LAN operations between buildings for a comparatively cheap price. Minimal hardware is required and installation man-hours are substantially reduced leading to a low total cost of ownership.
