Zhengzhou Telecommunications Bureau Selects Newbridge Networks for Major Digital Data Network Expansion HONG KONG, CHINA--Networking Solution Enables Delivery of Value-Added Converged Voice and Data Services Newbridge Networks (NYSE: NN - news; TSE: NNC - news) today announced that Zhengzhou telecommunications Bureau (Zhengzhou Telecom), a service provider that offers a wide range of voice and data services, including local, long distance and mobile telephony and integrat ed services digital network (ISDN) to approximately six million customers, has selected Newbridge to expand and upgrade its digital data network (DDN). The significant network expansion will enable Zhengzhou Telecom, which provides telecommunications ser vices to one of the most populous cities in Henan province, to respond to rapidly growing customer demand for value-added, integrated voice and data services. The agreement to provide the networking solution was completed through Vodatel Systems, a Newbr idge(r) distributor, based in the People's Republic of China. Since its installation in 1994, the Zhengzhou DDN network has faced explosive demand to support advanced voice and data services. As such, Zhengzhou Telecom was seeking a flexible networking solution to support this explosive growth now and well into the future. Zhengzhou selected the Newbridge solution because of its high scalability, reliability and the unmatched network and service management capabilities provided by the Siemens / Newbridge MainStreetXpress(tm) 46020 Network Manager. ''The superior network and service management capabilities provided by Newbridge and the ease with which service providers can expand their networks and migrate simply to a multiservice, multi-access, asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) platform were key fac tors in Zhengzhou's decision to select Newbridge Networks,'' said Roger Fung, Executive Vice President, Asia, Newbridge Networks. The MainStreetXpress 46020 Network Manager is a cost-effective, highly scalable networking solution capable of centrally monitoring and managing multiple-traffic networks and providing network partitioning - a feature that sets it apart from other vendor s' offerings. Network partitioning enables service providers to segregate their networks into customer-specific partitions and offer advanced-featured virtual private networks (VPNs) to their customers. These superior network and service management capab ilities, will enable Zhengzhou Telecom to protect its initial network investment and expand its network to quickly and effectively meet the diverse needs of its customers. Other equipment ordered by Zhengzhou Telecom for its network expansion includes: the 3600 MainStreet(r) Bandwidth Manager, the 3645 MainStreet High Capacity Bandwidth Manager and the 3630 Drop/Insert Primary Rate Multiplexer.
