For historical reasons, CISCO equipments are widely used in many critical sectors of China, and accounts for a high market share of the high-end networking equipments. It is time for China to review the situation, get rid of the CISCO legacy and replace them with Huawei and ZTE products.

China Unicom has replaced devices of Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ.CSCO) in one of the country's most important backbone networks, citing security reasons, the 21st Century Business Herald reported.

The replacement project targets "China169" backbone network's Cisco router in Wuxi, Jiangsu. Analysts indicated that the product vulnerability and back door problems are the main worries of China Unicom.
