Unisphere Sells Routers to Philippines

MANILA, Philippines -- Unisphere Networks, Inc., a leading provider of IP infrastructure products to enable broadband data, voice and video services, today announced that PT&T Philippines, the incumbent telecommunications operator in the Philippines, has deployed Unisphere Networks' ERX Edge Routers. The ERX supports PT&T's broadband access technologies, including Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) and circuit aggregation services. Because of the integrated platform combining subscriber access, IP services and carrier-grade IP routing, the ERX enables PT&T to offer innovative, high-speed services to its subscribers throughout the Philippines. PT&T has successfully deployed the ERX to deliver next-generation broadband services to both residential and corporate customers. PT&T also utilizes the ERX's virtual router support to provide wholesale broadband access to a large number of Internet Service Providers (ISPs), that in turn supply high speed Internet access to their customers. Because the ERX supports multiple distinct routers within a single platform, PT&T can configure many separate routers within a single chassis, creating a more cost-effective and secure wholesaling solution. "Unisphere Networks ERX Edge Router provides PT&T with a market leading edge routing solution and a great service and support option, enabling us to deliver the content rich services that our customers demand," said Bryan J. Santiago, director, New Business Development, PT&T Philippines. PT&T is utilizing the sales, implementation and support infrastructure of Trends & Technologies, Inc. for the integration of Unisphere Networks' equipment in its network. Unisphere Networks Inc.
