tablet computer from
Cisco Systems. The device, which was touted as an "enterprise tablet", was described as a mobile collaboration device that is bundled with Cisco's collaboration and applications suite and was targeted at the mobile workforce. It was used together with a media dock that was sold separately.
History
Cius was announced on June 29 at Cisco Live 2010. Upon launch, it was reported that the device was not directly competing in the tablet market since it is aimed at organizations particularly those large enterprises that employ scattered workforce.
Additionally, the device was also marketed to companies that are developing Android-based app infrastructure as well as healthcare organizations due to its videoconferencing features.
In a demonstration, for instance, Cius was used in a live videoconferencing transmission from a submarine in the
Aegean Sea.
Cisco also collaborated with AT&T, which first sold the device, in an initiative to facilitate app development for Cius in partnership with third party developers. Verizon also offered the device to its customers.
The Cius discontinued on May 24, 2012, although it will still be offered on a limited basis.
