Redback Receives Customer Value Enhancement Award from Frost & Sullivan



    Redback Networks Inc., an Ericsson company that makes video
    centric routers for 75 percent of the world's largest telephone
    companies, today announced it has been awarded Frost & Sullivan's 2007
    Customer Value Enhancement Award in the category of Global Carrier
    Infrastructure Edge Routing.

    This is the sixth industry award received for the SmartEdge(R)
    1200 and the entire family of SmartEdge routers. Redback's SmartEdge
    multi-service edge platform is used by 16 of the top 20 telephone
    carriers worldwide to deliver a mix of broadband, phone and TV
    services to more than 63 million subscribers.

    "Carriers today are under tremendous pressure to roll out
    integrated communications, while minimizing the capex and opex
    required to provide these ongoing services," said Arpit Joshipura,
    vice president of marketing, standards and solutions. "Frost &
    Sullivan's acknowledgement of Redback's routing leadership, in
    particular, the new SmartEdge 1200, highlights our commitment to
    working closely with our customers to deliver the most functionality
    for wireless and wire-line services in one router platform.

    "Redback invented broadband subscriber management and continues to
    up the ante for next-generation broadband infrastructure for
    triple-play services with its new SmartEdge 1200," said Sam Masud,
    principal analyst at Frost and Sullivan. "For these and other
    innovations in edge routing, we are pleased to award Redback Networks
    our Customer Value Enhancement Award."

    Frost and Sullivan's Customer Value Enhancement (CVE) Award is
    presented each year to the company that has best demonstrated the
    ability to expand the customer base, while maintaining its existing
    install base, with more innovative value creation and enhancement
    strategies than competing vendors. This Award recognizes the company's
    successful sales entry, customer acquisition and service strategies,
    and the degree to which those strategies have met customers' stated
    needs and requirements. Such innovation is expected to significantly
    improve customer interaction and contribute to customer satisfaction.
