LINKSYS TO CISCO TRADE UP PROGRAM

Announcement

End of the European Linksys to Cisco Trade Up program

On November 6 Cisco announced a US$100M investment in support of its global commitment to the small business market. This investment will include the transition of the “Linksys Business Series” brand to “Cisco Small Business”.

In parallel with this transition, Linksys Business Series programs will be phased out. From 12th February 2009, the European Linksys to Cisco Trade Up program will no longer be available to use. All requests for Trade Up’s must be requested and approved on or before this date as described in the terms and conditions. No further Linksys to Cisco Trade Up deals will be accepted after this date.

With the integration of the Linksys Business Series into Cisco we intend to create a new program to protect your investment – more information on this will follow during 2009.

New Cisco Small Business Web site

The www.cisco.com/smallbusiness website features the former Linksys Business Series products and tools powered by Cisco WebEx® that will enable customers to participate in live chats with our support desk
