Cisco has snapped up its two-hundredth acquisition in the form of unified comms biz Broadsoft for $1.9bn (£1.4bn) – its latest attempt to move away from its lacklustre legacy business of switches and routers.

The Maryland-based outfit sells software and services that enable mobile, fixed-line and cable service providers to offer unified communications over its internet protocol networks.
