On Friday, Belkin announced that they have completed the acquisition of Linksys from Cisco, which I spoke of some time ago:
“Linksys has a rich heritage, a passionate customer base and a wide product line, all of which fuelled our decision to acquire the company and our plan to maintain the Linksys brand,” said Chet Pipkin, CEO of Belkin. “The Linksys portfolio will continue to exist and evolve to include even richer user experiences and network management functionality. Smart Wi-Fi is an innovative and easy way for consumers to stay connected to their home network and we look to continue investing in it by adding more features and products.“
If you have a Linksys product, the company says that nothing will change:
Support for Linksys products remains available through the existing Linksys support channels. For service, Linksys customers should go to the support page on the Linksys website. All valid warranties will be honoured for current and future Linksys products.
That’s a good thing as that will keep customers from defecting to other brands. You can also expect that new products will be appearing as well which is also a good thing.
So will this change your opinion of Linksys products? Post a comment and share your thoughts.
