Oooops, you are right. I knew I should have checked the reference. I got them confused with ELAS. It is Verizon Avenue that they are working with, a subsidiary of Verizon Communications. biz.yahoo.com Elastic Networks' EtherLoop Platform Selected by Verizon Avenue for Broadband Services Deployment ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 5, 2001--Elastic Networks (NASDAQ: ELAS - news) announced today that Verizon Avenue, a subsidiary of Verizon Communications and a leading provider of telecommunications and data services to multi-dwelling units (MDUs), has selected EtherLoop(TM) technology as the enabling platform for a nationwide rollout of high-speed broadband services. Verizon Avenue plans to deploy Elastic Networks' Storm System(TM) Intelligent IP over Ethernet products to multi-tenant dwellings in 31 states. The Elastic Networks' Storm System(TM) of Intelligent IP-based solutions deliver bi-directional bandwidth at speeds up to 6 Mbps over existing copper telephone lines without the need for rewiring. Comprised of the BitStorm(TM) IP Access Multiplexer, and the StormPort(TM) 620 Modem, the Storm System transforms regular telephone twisted pair wiring into a high-speed, IP-based Local Area Network, capable of supporting lifeline voice services as well as voice over IP, secure network-based VPNs, multicast streaming audio and video, interactive gaming, enhanced chat rooms, and other multi-media services for business and consumers. ``We are very pleased that Verizon Avenue has selected EtherLoop as their platform for IP multi-media services deployment in the multi-tenant broadband services market,'' said Guy Gill, president and CEO of Elastic Networks. ``Verizon Avenue is visionary in next generation network deployment. By utilizing EtherLoop Ethernet-based technology for their edge copper access deployment, they are well positioned for a seamless Ethernet connection to optical Ethernet metropolitan networks of the future as fiber deployment drives deeper and deeper into the access network.'' Elastic Networks solutions are deployed on thousands of lines worldwide. Based on Ethernet, the most pervasive data networking protocol in the world, carriers and service providers value the system's simple deployment, reliable performance, and plug and play ease of use. As high-speed services become more prevalent, telephone companies and service providers recognize the growing importance of the Storm System's spectral compatibility - a unique capability that allows the system to overcome the interference, or `crosstalk,' generated by other services in a binder cable, such as T-1 or ADSL. The Storm System's underlying EtherLoop technology senses interference in a binder, then adjusts to avoid the interference. This enables service providers to successfully deploy EtherLoop where conventional xDSL services fail and eliminates the need for binder management. About Elastic Networks, Inc.
