SUPERCOMM SHOW NEWS: TiMetra Comes Out of the Box

Show News

05/01/2003

A three-year-old Silicon Valley company called TiMetra Networks is having its official coming out party this year at SUPERCOMM. This "service routing" vendor, which is staffed primarily by former Nortel Enterprise Products Division employees, promises to help service providers add new revenue-generating services by delivering technologies that let operators guarantee SLAs and scale.

Over the last several years service providers have spent a lot of time and money building out their IP backbones, yet Internet services are the only services they offer on those backbones, says Kevin Macaluso, vice president of marketing and product management. Service providers want to evolve backbones to MPLS capability so those backbones can be the primary source of point-to-point and multipoint business services like VPN and private data offerings that are SLA capable, he says.

The company declined to provide additional information about the next-generation family of service routers for the edge and core to be unveiled at SUPERCOMM. More details about the products, which are slated for general availability this quarter, will be will be revealed at the show, Macaluso says, adding the company is already working with several large carrier customers.
