Industry
Competition
Many of the Company�s current and potential competitors, including Alcatel, Cisco Systems, Lucent Technologies, Marconi (Fore) and Nortel Networks, are large public companies that have longer operating histories and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources than the Company. As a result, these competitors are able to devote greater resources to the development, promotion, sale and support of their products. In addition, competitors with large market capitalizations or cash reserves are much better positioned than the Company is to acquire other companies, including the Company�s competitors, and thereby acquire new technologies or products that may displace the Company�s product lines.
Business
Plan
Key elements of our strategy include: (i) Broaden Customer Base Domestically and Internationally, (ii) Leverage Technology Leadership from Access into Core, (iii) Provide Customers with a Smooth Migration Path to Next-Generation Network Architectures, (iv) Expand Our Global Sales Efforts and Our Customer Service and Support Capabilities and (v) Continue to Outsource Product Manufacturing.
