Cisco Systems was founded in 1984 by Stanford University computer scientists Leonard Bosack and Sandy Lerner. Bosack was a pioneer of Local Area Network (LAN) - the router-based PC-communication technology.

Cisco grew rapidly, and by the time the company went public in 1990 it had a market capitalisation of $224 million. A decade later at the peak of the dotcom bubble, Cisco was the world’s most valuable company with a $500 billion-plus market capitalisation. Over its more than three decades of existence, Cisco has made almost 200 acquisitions. Of these, 11 deals were in excess of $1 billion.

In 2014, Cisco announced $150 million of global funding for early-stage firms specialising in the Internet of Things. Cisco also increasingly sought to focus on cloud-based products, and started making a gradual exit from the consumer market to concentrate on being an enterprise-based company. As part of this, in 2015 Cisco announced the divesture of its TV set-top-box and cable modem business to Technicolor SA for $600 million.

JEYAKUMAR

great app, love the weekly and monthly insights, and review they send about my trading habits. spread for gold is usually 0.3 but at times fluctuates up to 0.9 this often makes it hard trading on the low time frames and not losing my position to spread even if my bias was correct, if the spread was better I'd give 5 star.

chris hoeben

Capital.com is the best broker of all time and I Should give it five stars but there is a small issue about execution of my orders through traddingview it is a bit slow. But the execution of orders directly from the capital.com App or Website is absolutely fast and apart from that everything is simple incredible.
