For the founders of Sipura, this is a sweet victory. Originally they developed the first ATA that was used by Vonage that was sold under the Cisco brand, before Cisco acquired Linksys.
Then they went on and under contract worked with Linksys to develop the smaller and newer styled Telephone Adapter's that are now sold by Linksys, while continuing on with their own highly regarded products.
With the acquisition, Linksys and Cisco gets a team of former Cisco engineers who figured out how to leave, make their mark and now come home to lead the R&D of new products in the VoIP space.
