Dow Jones Description

Founded in 1951, Scientific Atlanta has evolved into one of the leading providers of end-to-end networks used by programmers, broadcasters, and cable, telecom, wireless and satellite service providers around the world. The company is widely recognized for its expertise in video delivery, which many view as an art as much as it is a science. As we pass the midpoint of the first decade of a new century, the rapid convergence of technologies and markets (cable, wireline, mobile and "over the top" video) is driving service providers to transition from offering connectivity, to becoming "experience providers." They offer rich, personalized, on-demand, multi-media services that meet the consumer's desire for what they want, when, how, and where they want it. Because video is a strategic application in the service provider voice/video/data/mobility bundle of consumer entertainment, communication and online services, Cisco acquired Scientific Atlanta in February 2006. Scientific Atlanta's rich heritage of innovation reaches back into the early 1950s when the company began in suburban Atlanta.
