Sycamore Networks Intelligent Optical Network Node Named Product of the Year by Network Magazine CHELMSFORD, Mass., Apr 19, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Sycamore Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: SCMR), a leading provider of intelligent optical networking products, today announced that the company's SN 8000 Intelligent Optical Network Node, was recently chosen as the "Metropolitan Area Device" of the year by the editors of Network Magazine. Network Magazine's Product of the Year Awards are among the longest running, independent product awards in the networking/IT field. "Sycamore's SN 8000 stood out as the most significant Metropolitan Area Device offering based on the product's ability to support a range of optical applications and to provide just-in-time provisioning, which reduces deployment of new services from months to minutes," said Doug Allen, senior editor of Network Magazine. "As one of the few optical vendors with shipping product and customers in 1999, Sycamore remains the one to beat as the telecommunications industry goes optical." Product of the Year Award winners will be featured in the May issue of Network Magazine and awarded on Wednesday, May 10th at a reception at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas during the N+I tradeshow. The selection process is internal with no solicited or unsolicited input from vendors. "Sycamore's SN 8000 offers metro service providers the core infrastructure to build next generation networks that are both flexible and cost effective," said Bill McCullen, director of product marketing, transport and switching, at Sycamore Networks. "At Sycamore Networks, we're focused on developing and delivering products that address real needs in the marketplace and we're honored to receive this award from Network Magazine that recognizes our success."
