Coastcom's Expanded Product Line Provides
a Host of Bandwidth and Connectivity Options
ALAMEDA, Calif., Jan. 12, 2004 – Coastcom, a leading
manufacturer of voice and data communications equipment for public
and private networks, announced today it has expanded its product
line, giving customers more connectivity and bandwidth choices.
Coastcom's new “R” series family of network connection
devices support an array of speeds and services – ranging
from a single DS0 to OC-3 with Ethernet, frame relay, and ATM –
giving service providers and enterprise users a variety of solutions
to meet their current and future infrastructure requirements.
Meeting North American and international standards, the new products
each feature a compact, flexible design, and an attractive price
point. The new “R” family significantly enhances the
Coastcom lineup, satisfying the most demanding mission-critical
applications.
“This represents a dramatic, new direction for Coastcom,”
said the company's President and CEO Ted Buttner. “Historically,
we are recognized for our rugged and robust circuit-based products.
Now we're applying our success to technologies such as packet
switching, large-scale Ethernet transport, and mobile wireless
opportunities. And we're expanding our service, technical support,
and sales engineering efforts to a much wider audience, from utilities,
government, and transportation to enterprises.”
