Cisco (Nasdaq:CSCO) has also been quite active lately from an M&A standpoint, and its most recent acquisition was announced on Tuesday: Sipura Technology.  The transaction, valued at $68 million (a cash and stock options combo) solidifies the Linksys wireless division (Linksys was another acquisition made in 2003 geared towards the SOHO/small business and home markets).  Cisco had been OEMing Sipura's ATAs since 2004; analog phones and fax machines can be connected to these ATAs to create a phone line over a broadband connection (e.g. DSL).  Om Malik had an interesting post on this transaction (including the past Komodo story).  Sipura is the third company bought by Cisco this year (after Airespace and Topspin).
