PRESS RELEASE
Extreme Networks Joins New Carrier Ethernet Ecosystem to Provide Service Provider Networks with Improved Economics, Scalability
Ecosystem provides partnering framework for Solution Providers to adopt Ethernet as preferred means of information transport in carrier networks
SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 21, 2007 - Extreme Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR) today announced that it has joined with the new Carrier Ethernet Ecosystem spearheaded by Nortel. The Ecosystem’s goal is to focus on the interoperability necessary to help carriers to meet the explosion in demand on metro area networks from video, VoIP and other real-time communications. As part of this, the Ecosystem will focus on Provider Backbone Bridging Traffic Engineering (PBB-TE), which provides scalability and economic enhancements to Ethernet also known as Provider Backbone Transport.
“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 will bring together industry hardware and software vendors as well as component and tool suppliers to participate in creating interoperable carrier Ethernet solutions. To learn more about it, please visit
