Nortel extends product range to SMB

Bangalore, Oct 5 (UNI) Gaining a strong foothold in the Indian carrier and enterprise market, Nortel today reiterated its commitment to India by extending its product offering to the burgeoning Small and Medium Business (SMB) segment in the country.

Nortel's new product range included switches, routers and access points and would feature the SMB-specific Business Communications Manager (BCM50) and a digital hybrid PBX supplied by Nortel's Korean JV, LG-Nortel. SMB customers would benefit from both voice and data enabled solutions backed by Nortel's carrier-grade industry standards. The specially designed offering would provide customers simple, scalable and easy to use products at an affordable price, a company release here said.

Backed by the buoyant Indian economy and the large SMB market, Nortel had established a long-term strategy to cater to specific needs and challenges of SMB customers. India was the first country in Asia where the SMB initiative was being rolled out. Supported by dedicated marketing, support infrastructure and people, the SMB initiative would be one of Nortel's biggest product roll outs in India, with multi-city road shows taking the solutions to customers across the country, the release said.
