Cisco Cius tablet to arrive on Verizon’s LTE network

Cisco’s Cius enterprise tablet was announced way back in June 2010 and now the tablet is set to arrive on Verizon’s LTE network. This Android-powered tablet is designed to take advantage of Cisco’s expertise in enterprise video conferencing, though it’s fully capable of functioning as a normal tablet device too.

While the Cius is a 4G LTE device, it’s capable of reverting to Verizon’s 3G network in the event that LTE coverage isn’t available. The Cius will support Cisco’s enterprise collaboration applications and features Wi-Fi that will be very useful when there isn’t any cellular coverage. The front-facing camera of this tablet is capable of capturing 720p video while the rear-facing camera can be used for capturing still shots or live streaming. Cisco’s VPN connections and WebEX are also supported, though that shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone.
