Axerra Networks Opens a New Office in Korea; Expands Asia-Pacific Operations and Appoints Mr. Kimin Shin as Country Manager
1BOSTON --(Business Wire)-- May 23, 2006 -- Axerra Networks, "The Pseudo-Wire Company(R)" and the leading provider of circuit emulation and service emulation solutions, announced today the opening of a new office in Korea. The new office is the latest development in Axerra’s continued expansion in the region and follows the recently-announced opening of a training center in Korea, as well as additional operations in Singapore and India
Axerra has appointed Mr. Kimin Shin as Country Manager. Mr. Shin has extensive experience in the telecommunications industry and was most recently the Founder and CEO of AllLayer Co., Ltd. in Korea. "I look forward to building on Axerra’s strong start in Korea," said Mr. Shin. "The market is growing quickly for Pseudo-Wire solutions, and the new office will enable us to better serve new and existing customers in this country."
Axerra already has commercial systems installed with Korean operators as well as advanced field trials and new deployments underway. Axerra’s AXN Pseudo-Wire Gateways and Access Devices(TM) enable mobile operators, Ethernet service providers, cable MSOs and incumbent carriers to offer a complete range of both traditional and emerging voice and data services over next-generation Ethernet, IP, and MPLS access networks.
For mobile wireless operators, Axerra’s Pseudo-Wire solutions enable backhaul of all generations of voice and data services, including synchronization information over packet networks - including carrier Ethernet, DSL, PON, HFC, and even WiMAX. Axerra’s solutions provide immediate reduction in recurring backhaul charges while enabling the additional bandwidth needed for emerging services. For Ethernet service providers and cable MSOs, Axerra’s solutions enable the full portfolio of commercial E1 services for small/medium businesses from their existing metro Ethernet and HFC networks. For incumbent carriers, a multi-service aggregation strategy based on Axerra’s solutions enables the carrier to unify the transport of all services on a single access network, reducing costs and improving operational efficiencies.
"Kimin has the outstanding leadership capabilities and the expertise we need to strengthen our presence in Korea," said Mr. Gil Itkin, Axerra’s VP Sales - APAC. "We welcome Kimin and look forward to even greater success in delivering Pseudo-Wire solutions to the Asia Pacific region."
