If you mean Ascend, the answer is yes
Competition
Ascend's current competitors can be classified into three groups: manufacturers of WAN and Internet access equipment, manufacturers of remote LAN access and Internet subscriber access equipment, and manufacturers of bandwidth on demand products addressing the needs of the videoconferencing market. In the WAN and Internet access equipment market, Ascend primarily competes with Cisco Systems, Inc., U.S. Robotics Corporation and 3Com Corporation ("3Com"), each of which has substantially greater financial, marketing and technical resources than Ascend. In the remote LAN access and Internet subscriber access market, competition is widespread, although few companies have positioned their products specifically as digital bandwidth on demand network access systems. Ascend's primary competitors in this market are Gandalf, Cisco, Shiva and 3Com. In the videoconferencing access market, competitors include Madge Networks, Adtran and Promptus Communications (a subsidiary of GTI). |
