Bay Networks*, a Nortel Networks* (NYSE: NT/TSE: NTL) line of business (LOB), reinforced its
commitment to providing leading-edge technology and promoting interoperability and open standards by providing, for the fourth
consecutive year, substantial support for the InteropNet infrastructure at NetWorld+Interop 98 Atlanta.
The InteropNet presents a unique opportunity for exhibitors and attendees to experiment with how different technologies and
manufacturers of equipment interoperate and to test-drive some of the latest technologies. The objectives of the InteropNet are to
provide a stable production network for exhibitor and attendee use and to showcase emerging networking technologies.
The Nortel Networks products help provide the infrastructure for several emerging technology demonstrations, remote site network
services, and wide area connectivity. Participation in the InteropNet provides Nortel Networks with several benefits, including:
protocol improvements, usability improvements, and experience as a user. "This ultimately allows us to see networks as our
customers see them, namely as a means, not as an end," added Pitt. |
