Newbridge Networks Appoints Brian Keating as Executive Vice President, Global Marketing and Broadband Solutions MAIDENHEAD, England, Jan 20, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Newbridge Networks(R) (NYSE:NN)(TSE:NNC) today announced it has appointed Brian Keating to the position of executive vice president (EVP) of global marketing and broadband solutions. Newbridge Networks, which supplies the world's largest telecommunications operators with core switches to power their networks, is spearheading new solutions in the digital subscriber line (DSL) and wireless technology areas. The focus of this new initiative is to create and supply total solutions to telecommunications operators, rather than simply supplying the technology alone. Keating has successfully launched this approach in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMA) where he headed Newbridge Networks marketing and pioneered the company's 3dSL approach within the DSL market. The 3dSL solution enables incumbent telecommunications operators to use their existing copper infrastructure for the distribution of movies, digital TV and fast Internet access and thus fight the challenge of the cable companies head on. Pearse Flynn, president and COO of Newbridge Networks said, "Brian has played a key role in revitalizing Newbridge Networks in EMA where the company has recorded over 40% revenue growth in the past year. He was directly responsible for changing the company's marketing strategy in EMA and for Newbridge's high profile at recent events such as Telecom 99, Geneva." Brian Keating joined Newbridge Networks in July 1999 having worked previously for Global Knowledge Networks, the world's largest independent IT solutions provider where he held the position of managing director. Commencing his career in Australia, Keating founded an exhibition and publishing company, Expo Oz Pty Ltd. Drake International acquired this company in 1990 and appointed Keating vice president of its exhibitions and conferences group, specializing in training and technology events. Building on his experience in overseas commerce, Keating became project coordinator to the European Commission and a consultant for the Russian Government in 1991. Whilst in Russia, Keating launched Apple Computer IMC Russia representing Apple in Russia and CIS as the company's first general manager in that territory. Since leaving Apple, Keating held the position of general manager of In Unison Ltd, the first Apple OEM licensee in Europe, and he remains a non-executive director of Learning Information Systems Ltd. Newbridge Networks designs, manufactures, markets and services wide area networking solutions for Internet service providers; local, long-distance, and wireless communications companies; cable television carriers; and corporate customers in more than 100 countries. The Company leverages its relationship with a growing family of Newbridge Affiliate companies and strategic alliances with numerous other networking companies to deliver complete, end-to-end solutions.
