You got it flip-flopped. The Ascend GX 550 is unmatchable by anything that NN has to offer. That's why the larger carriers are choosing Ascend over NN and Cisco.

We'll still see a few deals go NN's way since most of these ATM deals take over a year and Ascend wasn't much in the international market with ATM last year.
