thanks for the link Armin, Can Trueger pick em' or what? mayannetworks.com MAYAN Networks Named One of The Industry Standard's "10 Optical-Network Startups to Watch" MAYAN recognized as one of today's "privately held companies that have what it takes to make it big" SAN JOSE, Calif., September 21, 2000 - The Industry Standard (www.thestandard.com) recently named MAYAN Networks to a list of privately held companies that "have what it takes to make it big." The list and corresponding article, written by The Standard's Jason Krause, recognized ten companies that have the management pedigree, the vision and the technology necessary to make it big. In addition to having "what it takes to make it big," the article also predicts the companies on the list have what it takes to "possibly become the next Cisco." Author Jason Krause notes MAYAN's strengths in the article: Like several companies on this list, MAYAN builds equipment that routes and manages voice and data traffic in metropolitan networks. More important, MAYAN recognizes that most of the big, established carriers (with most of the money) have legacy networks that are going to need support. MAYAN Networks manufactures products that bring intelligence and core bandwidth to the metro edge, allowing carriers to leverage their existing SONET and SDH infrastructures as they grow and evolve their networks. MAYAN's flagship product, the Unifier SMX, is a SONET/SDH-interoperable Multi-Service Provisioning Platform (MSPP) that combines the functionality of an Add-Drop Mux (ADM), 3/1/0 Digital Cross-connect Switch (DCS), M13, Frame Relay Switch, ATM Switch and IP Router. This architecture allows carriers to maintain their existing base of highly-profitable TDM services, while growing their service portfolio to include more advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 packet-based services. "There are dozens of players in this market and being named to this list demonstrates that our vision is one which resonates with companies that have made significant investments in their existing infrastructures," said MAYAN co-founder Farooq Raza. "We realize it is important to build a strong organization focused on the business needs of our customers - in addition to developing best-of-breed technology solutions. We are pleased to be recognized for that by The Industry Standard." The article can be viewed in its entirety at thestandard.com. About MAYAN Networks MAYAN Networks was founded in 1998 to simplify the delivery of services and to reduce cost and complexity at the edge of the optical network.
