BANGKOK, Thailand, Jul 5, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Redback Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: RBAK chart, msgs), a leading provider of advanced broadband networking solutions, today announced that Rajamangala Institute of Technology (RIT) has selected Redback's Subscriber Management System(TM) (SMS) to deploy remote high-speed Internet services to the RIT's 86,000 students on 38 campuses across the country.

RIT's Professor Nivat Jaruvarakul said: "We have chosen Redback's SMS because we believe it to be the most powerful solution today for managing high-speed subscribers. The fast evolving needs of RITnet requires a highly scalable and cost-effective traffic management solution like the one that Redback offers."
