Cisco to furnish Dubai Internet City
Cisco Systems will furnish telecom gear to Dubai Internet City, the companies announced Tuesday. Dubai Internet City(DIC) is a high-tech office park in Dubai, a city that is part of the United Arab Emirates, which shares borders with Saudi Arabia. Cisco will supply a variety of Internet gear to the project, such as its 124000 and 10700 series of routers, which will enable DIC tenant companies to have access to high-speed Ethernet connections. The Dubai government-supported venture aims to attract foreign tech companies to set up offices at DIC by offering perks such as relaxed labor and taxation laws.
