Some comments... Northchurch — Enabling the Intelligent IP Edge “Service providers need to deliver greater value- added services, against enormous infrastructure strains, in order to stay competitive. Northchurch's Service Access Switch is the first product of its kind to offer the high- end, carrier- class capabilities that are required of service providers in order to deliver the best possible services.” – Matt Bross — Williams Communications “The ability to deliver wire speed routing is critical for any vendor to succeed in the carrier space. With the Northchurch acquisition, Newbridge will be able to get to market much quicker, addressing two of the most critical needs of service providers — that of high density aggregation and added value service deployment.” – Christine Heckart — VP, TeleChoice +++++++++++Timestep comments...+++++++++ TimeStep — Secure VPN Services — Today “Newbridge Networks' global presence and managed network solution model will strengthen TimeStep's award- winning VPN offerings to partners such as GTE Internetworking,” said Robert McKinney, director of VPN and Internet Security Services, GTE Internetworking. “The acquisition of TimeStep by Newbridge Networks affirms GTE Internetworking's selection of TimeStep's secure and scalable VPN technology as a key component of our market- leading, managed VPN Advantage service.” – Robert McKinney, Director, VPN and Internet Security Services, GTE Internetworking “Supporting TimeStep's secure VPN solution has been highly successful for Bell Nexxia.

And here's something that sounds even better... A Winning Strategy ... “This acquisition positions Newbridge as a true market leader in the IVPN services space. They are acquiring two cutting edge IPVN vendors, in TimeStep and Northchurch, both of which will continue to push the technology curve for IP services. Newbridge will also gain access to carriers and managed network services, such as IVPNs, where they previously did not have an offering, opening them up to a market that will exceed $2 billion by the year 2002.” – Matthew Kovar of the Yankee Group
