To help users control unwanted noise in meetings-be it from barking dogs, lawn mowers, a car alarm or sirens-Cisco announced its intent to acquire privately held BabbleLabs, headquartered in Campbell, CA. BabbleLabs uses advanced AI techniques to distinguish human speech from unwanted noise, enhancing the quality of communications and conferencing applications.

Initially, Cisco will focus on integrating BabbleLabs to deliver a best-in-class audio experience to Webex Meetings users - wherever they are and however they connect via the Webex application.

BabbleLabs complements Cisco's focus on secure and private collaboration by processing noise removal 100 percent at the source where the noise happens.

"BabbleLabs is excited to become part of Cisco and the Collaboration Group," said Chris Rowen, CEO and co-founder of BabbleLabs.

Upon completion of the transaction, the BabbleLabs team will join the Cisco Collaboration Group, led by Javed Khan, senior vice president and general manager, which is part of the Cisco Security and Applications Business, led by Jeetu Patel.
