Cisco Announced Intention to Purchase Optical Interconnect Vendor Acacia; Maintaining FVE of $52
Narrow-moat Cisco announced its intention to acquire Acacia Communications, a vendor of high-speed coherent optical interconnect products, for $2.6 billion ($70 per share) in cash. We view this acquisition in a positive light as Cisco bolsters its optical portfolio for applications outside of short-range data center interconnects. Acacia's technology gets Cisco ahead of the shift toward using pluggable optical modules instead of chassis-based options, and access to areas such as the metro, long-...Cisco Systems designs and sells a range of technologies that power the Internet. The company's business is organized into the following three geographic segments: Americas; Europe, Middle East, and Africa; and Asia Pacific, Japan, and China. The company's products and technologies are grouped into the following categories: Infrastructure Platforms; Applications; Security and Other Products. In addition to its product offerings, the company provides a range of service offerings, including technical support services and other services. The company delivers its technologies through software and services. The company's customers include businesses of all sizes, public institutions, governments, and service providers.
