Equinox Egypt Recognized by Cisco as the IP NGN Partner of the Year for Africa and Levant

Cairo, Egypt – October 2, 2011 – Equinox Egypt announced that it has achieved the Cisco IP NGN Partner of the Year award in 2011 for Africa and Levant at Cisco’s One Africa Partner Summit held recently in Cape Town, South Africa. Nile Hotel.

This prestigious award was given to Equinox in recognition of it being the leading systems integrator company in Egypt to invest in the Service Provider IOS-XR technology and products over the past four years.
