New Cisco Mobile Collaboration Application for BlackBerry Offers Millions of Users Access to WebEx Online Meetings

SAN JOSE, CA, Apr 22 (MARKET WIRE) --
Continuing to expand their mobile business collaboration offering and
improve the online meeting experience for users, Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO)
today announced a new, free, downloadable Cisco WebEx Meeting Center
application for BlackBerry(R) smartphones.

Cisco WebEx Meeting Center for BlackBerry smartphones gives business
users the flexibility and ease of joining online meetings, and viewing
shared documents and desktops directly from their smartphones.

Facts/Highlights:

-- Users can now directly download the Cisco WebEx Meeting Center
application for BlackBerry smartphones from webex.com or on BlackBerry
App World(TM) at www.blackberry.com/appworld. Or, when a user
clicks on the WebEx meeting URL from email or a calendar invitation on
the supported models of BlackBerry smartphones, they will be prompted
to download the application at that time.

-- When the user clicks on the meeting URL to join a Cisco WebEx online
meeting from their BlackBerry smartphone, the WebEx audio conferencing
system will call them back to join the meeting. When the user answers
the audio call, the data portion of the meeting is automatically
launched on their smartphones. The application also supports other
audio configurations.

-- Cisco now makes it easy and intuitive for BlackBerry smartphone users
to join and participate in Cisco WebEx online meetings. The Cisco
WebEx Meeting Center application now allows meeting participants to
use elements such as the menu option to access the features and
shortcuts for fast navigation while they are on the go.

-- The application gives meeting hosts the flexibility to start a
scheduled meeting that has previously been scheduled on a computer and
to pass presenter control on to another attendee participating from a
computer.

-- The in-meeting experience on BlackBerry smartphones allows
participants to view shared presentations, applications, and desktops
with live annotations. In addition, BlackBerry smartphone users can
see the attendee list, find out who's talking at a particular time,
and chat privately with one or all of the attendees.

-- The online meetings are delivered via the Cisco WebEx Collaboration
Cloud, a real-time, global network that is fast, reliable and highly
secure, giving users the performance necessary for high-quality mobile
business meetings.
