Zbyslaw, Why Espire uses Newbridge: The Company utilizes Newbridge ATM networking technology on its data backbone network, allowing its network capacity to be efficiently shared between multiple platforms. The Company's local networks are comprised of fiber optic cable, integrated switching facilities, advanced electronics, data switching equipment (e.g., frame relay and ATM), transmission equipment and associated wiring and equipment. By virtue of their state-of-the-art equipment and ring-like architecture, the Company's networks offer electronic redundancy and diverse access routing.
