Cisco Seeing Solid Early Demand for IRIS Service

摘要

In April, when Cisco Systems made plans to spend a year showing potential commercial and military customers how communications traffic could flow more quickly and efficiently with the help of an Internet Router in Space (IRIS), company officials thought demand would grow slowly over time. So they were surprised when a few months into the evaluation period, customers said they were convinced of the utility of IRIS and ready to buy the service on an ongoing basis.rn"We didn't think customers would want to buy it so soon," said Greg Pelton, program manager for San Jose, Calif.-based Cisco.
