Newbridge Networks Signs Multi-Million Dollar Agreement with SBC KANATA, ONTARIO--Newbridge Networks today announced an agreement with SBC Operations Inc. to provide MainStreetXpress(tm) 36170 Multiservices Switches. Newbridge also will provide SBC with a MainStreetXpress 46020 Network Manager and MainStreetXpress 48020 MultiNetwork Service Controller. The three-year agreement is valued at over $300 million. "SBC's commitment to their customers' evolving needs has made them one of the world's most respected and successful carriers," said Terence Matthews, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Newbridge Networks Corporation. "Newbridge is proud to provide the network infrastructure that will enable SBC to support its customers into the next century." The MainStreetXpress 36170 Switch's broad range of interfaces and service offerings - including advanced private line, LAN internetworking, and broadband wireless - enables companies to take advantage of the cost and performance benefits provided by the multi-services, multi-access platform. The MainStreetXpress 36170 Multiservices Switch offers interfaces ranging from sub-T1 speeds to OC12, growing to OC48, and features such as ATM Forum-compliant Inverse Multiplexing over ATM (IMA) and switched virtual circuits (SVCs). It scales from 800 Mbit/s to more than 50 Gbit/s in a fully redundant mode, and supports more than 30,000 T1, frame-relay or circuit-emulation ports per system. The Newbridge MainStreet(r) time division multiplexing and MainStreetXpress asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), frame relay products also allow for the ability to seamlessly integrate network solutions. The MainStreetXpress 46020 Network Manager and the MainStreetXpress 48020 MultiNetwork Service Controller are highly scalable, reliable management systems that provide end-to-end network and management solutions. The MainStreetXpress 46020 Network Manager is used to configure the network, manage links and paths, monitor operations and establish end-to-end connections through the network by simply clicking on end-points. The MainStreetXpress 48020 MNSC can be used by individual service providers to consolidate the management of multiple networks into a common administration, or by multiple service providers to manage services which span multiple network or service provider boundaries.
