Tom Nolle, President of CIMI Corporation commented, “We found four of en service providers either trialing or planning trials for PBT in 2006. By January 2007, that went to six of ten, and in May to eight of ten. By the end of 2007, it was ten of ten. Extreme Networks® PBB-TE solutions position them well to take advantage of this dramatic shift in carrier mindset.”
Peter Lunk, Director of Service Provider Marketing for Extreme Networks said, “Our new PBB-TE solutions provides the key building blocks that allow service providers to choose a path towards an economical network infrastructure that is both deterministic and simple to deploy.
