Cisco Systems to acquire VoIP company Sipura - $68M cash

Cisco Systems is acquiring Sipura, a VoIP adapter maker, for $68 million. Sipura is a small company, and its gear will be merged with Linksys, the networking and router company Cisco bought in 2003. Two key reasons for the deal: Sipura has some large service providers as customers, and its products are interoperable with Cisco competitor Nortel Networks.
