 Singapore, 6 October 2011 – Cisco today launched a refresh of Linksys E-series wireless routers, new Linksys X-series modem routers and Linksys Wireless-N peripherals, offering consumers a multitude of choices to plug into a powerful wireless experience in the home.

Cisco’s new products are characterized by high performance with cutting-edge technology, setting new benchmarks for speed, range and ease-of-use while featuring the latest industrial design that combines aesthetics and advanced functionality.

Ulrike Tegtmeier, Vice President, International, Cisco Home Networking Business Unit, said, “The home network is now a complex mix of various devices connecting to one platform, and consumers are demanding reliability and speed to meet their digital lifestyle needs. Beyond the smart phone and personal computer, devices that are connected to the home network include TVs, Blu-Ray players, game consoles and set-top boxes. The increasingly sophisticated requirements of consumers today underscore the importance of wireless connectivity for a next-generation home entertainment experience.”
