Redback Announces Carrier Wins In 22 Of 32 Chinese Provinces Posted on: 07/09/2006 Redback Networks Inc. (NASDAQ:RBAK), a leading provider of next-generation broadband networking systems, today announced several milestones in broadband service deployments with incumbent carriers in China, including carrier wins in 22 of 32 provinces in China.Redback's SmartEdgeŽ family of multi-service edge routers have now been deployed in 22 of China's 32 provinces, serving millions of business and residential broadband customers. There are about 30 million DSL users in China, about 20 percent of the estimated 150+ million DSL users worldwide, according to Point-Topic, a U.K.-based telecommunications research firm. China is Redback's second largest market and third largest customer, if you combine China's public-owned telephone carriers into one group. Over the last 12 months, Redback has 22 carrier wins in China, focused on the independently operated, provincial subsidiaries of China Telecom and China Netcom, the two largest incumbent carriers in China. For China Telecom, this includes provincial carriers in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Fujian, Anhui, Hubei, Jiangxi, Yunnan, Shaanxi, Ningxia, Heilongjiang and Tibet. For China Netcom, this includes similar deployments in Shandong, Liaoning, Hebei, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Henan, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Zhejiang, Chongqing and Yunnan. With these carriers in China, Redback is at the center of one of the largest IPTV deployments in the world. In China, five carriers are either using or plan to use in the future Redback's multi-service edge router to help deliver IPTV service in Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shaanxi and Heilongjiang provinces. Because China has little cable TV infrastructure, these five telephone carriers hope to sign up to 500,000 IPTV users as a competitive alternative to satellite and broadcast TV services. Eleven of the top 20 DSL carriers worldwide deploy Redback's SmartEdge(R) multi-service edge routers to deliver various broadband services to tens of millions of business and residential customers worldwide. These customers include British Telecom, Belgacom, BellSouth, China Telecom, China Netcom, Chunghwa Telecom, France Telecom and Turk Telecom, among others. News story posted by: BroadGroup
