Two Taiwan immigrants, Jani and Victor Tsao founded the Linksys company in 1988 in a garage in Irvine, California. They both held second jobs as consultants specializing in pairing American technology vendors with manufacturers in Taiwan. Their first product was the printer sharer which enables multiple computers to connect with a single printer. The product the expanded into Ethernet hubs, network cards, and cords. By 1994, it had grown to 55 employees with annual revenues of $6.5 million.

Later in 2003, the company was acquired by Cisco systems, a major provider of home and small office network products. Linksys also manufactures broadband and wireless routers, consumer and small business grade ethernet switching, VoIP equipment, wireless internet video camera, AV products, network storage systems, and other products. Since 2008, all Linksys products sold are now packaged as “Linksys by Cisco”.
