AT&T's ATM network is Ascend, its frame relay network is Cisco and its managed services business uses NN gear for customers who want their ATM traffic isolated from the AT&T core network. WorldCom and MCI each had two networks pre-merger. The former MCI networks (NN for ATM, Nortel/Bay for frame relay)are being ripped out and the traffic moved to the legacy WorldCom networks (Cisco for ATM, Ascend for Frame Relay). The "migration from NN to CSCO" refers to the MCI native ATM network giving way to the CSCO based WorldCom native ATM network. Both companies (T and WCOM) are expected to announce plans for global ATM-based multiservices networks sometime this year.
