Extreme Networks Works to Meet Communications Demand
Extreme Networks, Inc. announced yesterday that they have joined forces with the new Carrier Ethernet Ecosystem led by Nortel. The Ecosystem was brought about by a desire to meet the growing needs of video, VoIP and other communication services in metro area networks.
“We are excited to be a part of the Carrier Ethernet Ecosystem and to work within this framework to accelerate the adoption of PBT-enabled carrier solutions,” said Peter Lunk, director of service provider marketing for Extreme Networks. “The PBT interoperability demonstration between Extreme and Nortel scheduled at NXTcomm in Chicago this week is a great example of what we can get done by working together.”
The Ecosystem plans to bring together industry hardware/software vendors along with ”component and tool suppliers to participate in creating interoperable carrier Ethernet solutions.” For more information, visit www.nortel.com/ecosystem.
