Cisco localizes production in Russia
In mid-July, it became known that the American manufacturers of telecommunications equipment, Cisco Systems and Juniper Networks, had difficulties with deliveries to the Russian power structures due to US sanctions. So, Juniper stopped the supply of equipment to power structures, such as the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Defense. And if nothing has been heard from Juniper yet, then Cisco is going to localize production in Russia.
Needless to say, what is the share of the equipment of these manufacturers in the Russian market. First of all it concerns 10GE and 40GE switches (image taken from here )
It is clear that Cisco will not want to lose such a tasty morsel of the market and now it will try to establish the manufacture of equipment in Russia. And they will not just collect their pieces of iron here, as is already done at the plant in Tver, but will launch them under a new brand and, after signing the corresponding contract, will transfer to FSUE EZAN . True, we are still talking only about IP phones, complexes of engineering and technical means of protection and solutions to ensure the safety of workers in the mining industry (yes, the company is even engaged in this). But this is an interesting signal.

The amount of investment in the project in Cisco is not disclosed. It is emphasized that the project is implemented in the framework of long-term agreements reached in 2010 between Cisco CEO John Chambers and then Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. At that meeting, Cisco “made a firm commitment” to invest $ 1 billion in the development of entrepreneurship in Russia.
From myself I will say - sanctions in the field of IT have already begun to affect our work. So, one of my colleagues had problems with the purchase of equipment of a famous brand. Another example - not unknown company has closed access to software updates for their equipment. In the framework of recent events with a focus on China, it seems that we will soon migrate en masse to Huawei.
Have you had any legislative initiatives in the West that have had time for you and your work?
