MRV at the GigNet Conference San Jose beginning 12/9: In the exhibitor listings MRVC uses their tradename, NBase, since that's what users and prospective users knowthem by. Here's what they say: NBASE COMMUNICATIONS NBase is the number 4 manufacturer of ethernet workgroup switches as measured by IDC. During 1997 Nbase has shipped over 2,700 ports of gigabit ethernet. Currently offering over 16 different switch configurations from 2 port to 196 port, NBase has a solution for most requirements. NBase also specializes in fiber optic communications and is one of the few single mode laser manufacturers in the country. As such NBase supports link distances of up to 110 kilometers on most of their switches. Nbase also supports Gigabit Ethernet single mode links of 40 kilometers. NBase is a $200 million dollar company headquarted in Los Angeles and traded on NASDAQ as MRVC Users are not necessarily investors so the dichotomy is not played up - they tout NBase, as they should, and note that they're traded under MRVC without a big to-do about the corporate name, MRV Communications.
