Yes, Dee Jay, ASND-MRVC would be an almost perfect fit.
MRVC has a lot that ASND might want - Optical network and ASIC design expertise, FTTC, Enterprise LAN/WAN presence, strong IP and FE/GE switching, a large base of European customers, high growth, low baggage, low overlap.
MRVC gets doors open to major customers, especially domestic, and the funds to fuel explosive growth, plus an experienced ASND management team that handles IR and PR better.
ASND-CSCC turned ASND from a basically one faceted company (RAS/RAC), to a two faceted one (adding ATM and F/R WAN switching). MRVC would add Enterprise IP and Ethernet switching and fill in several missing areas for ASND. |
