Plano, Texas, September 22, 2010 – GENBAND, a leading developer of IP solutions and services, today announced the completion of GENBAND Perspectives 2010 Media and Analyst Summit held Sept. 20-21 in Frisco, Texas. The summit brought together top financial and industry analysts as well as trade and business media, for a comprehensive briefing on GENBAND’s vision, strategy, product roadmap and global capabilities. Top customers, including AT&T, Hot Telecom, Pac West, TelePacific, Telnet Worldwide and Verizon, joined the summit, providing insight into network migration plans, challenges and their experience with GENBAND.

“Following the successful acquisition and integration of Nortel Carrier VoIP and Application Solutions Business (CVAS), we appreciated the chance to gather our executive team, top customers and the industry’s leading financial and trade analysts and media for a strategic review of the company and market,” said Charles D. Vogt, president and chief executive officer of GENBAND. “Perspectives 2010 provided industry influencers an in-depth view of not only GENBAND, but also the IP transformation underway at the major service providers we serve and our role in delivering IP switching, services and networking. I would like to thank all those who participated and especially thank our customers for sharing the trends, challenges and opportunities facing the telecommunications industry today.”

GENBAND senior executives presented a focused strategy to lead the industry’s transformation to IP by delivering innovations that help service providers generate new revenue streams, reduce costs and increase subscriber growth and loyalty.

“Perspectives 2010 provided a comprehensive view of GENBAND, direct access to its management team and interaction with a cross section of the company’s customer base,” said Diane Myers, Directing Analyst, Infonetics. “We gained insights into the integration of Nortel CVAS and the company's post-acquisition roadmap. As service providers worldwide modernize their networks, GENBAND is positioning itself as a best-in-breed provider for these IP transformation projects.”

“One of the reasons to attend conferences like Perspectives 2010 is to hear first-hand the effectiveness and vision of the management team,” said Mark Ricca, partner and senior analyst at Intellicom Analytics. “GENBAND’s management team is cohesive, well-balanced and engaged with a clear, laser-focused vision on IP transformation. They understand customer needs and where revenue and value-added opportunities exist, particularly through the company’s innovative IP software and services capabilities.”

“In addition to gaining a comprehensive overview of GENBAND’s roadmap and capabilities in IP, Perspectives 2010 provided timely insights into significant trends driving their business and changing the communications landscape,” said Jeremy Duke, founder and principal analyst, Synergy Research. “GENBAND’s management team is clearly on top of key technology shifts and their impact on service providers, whether that be 200 plus mobile operators deploying social media applications, tiered pricing becoming the norm or the mass personalization of services. We appreciate gaining perspectives on both the company and the industry.”
