... Redback hat sich seit der Abwärtswelle Anfang Juni (hat sich lange gewährt gegen die Korrektur Anfang Mai) nicht mehr richtig erholen können!
Die News und Zahlen sind top und der bisherige Kursverlauf seit Juni ein absoluter Flopp! Irgendwie werde ich den Eindruck nicht los, daß Techwerte immer noch out sind, bis auf einige wenige Ausnahmen und nachdem vielleicht Einige mit Redback Kasse gemacht haben, fehlen nachwievor Käufer. Vom kleinen Plus von heute, will ich gar nicht sprechen!
04.12.2006 09:00:00 (BUSINESS WIRE)
Redback Networks Inc. (NASDAQ:RBAK), a leading provider of multi-service edge routers for next generation IP networks, today announced that Opal Telecom, a subsidiary of The Carphone Warehouse (CPW), has chosen the SmartEdge(R) family of multi-service edge routers to help deliver the TalkTalk free broadband service for up to two million customers in the United Kingdom (U.K.).
TalkTalk is a communications company from The Carphone Warehouse and provides a combination of free broadband (up to 8 Mbps) and unlimited fixed-line phone calls. In October 2006, The Carphone Warehouse announced plans to acquire AOL UK's broadband operations, and the deal is expected to close in early 2007. The acquisition will make The Carphone Warehouse the third largest broadband provider in the U.K., with almost two million customers.
"Offering triple-play services is a compelling value for Internet users and has transformed the broadband market," said Magnus Almquist, vice president of sales & operations for Redback in Europe, Middle East and Africa. "It powerfully demonstrates that all communications can be delivered over a single broadband infrastructure and that over time carriers can use the power of Internet technology to converge communications and entertainment services. We are very pleased to be working with The Carphone Warehouse on this opportunity."
Clive Dorsman, chief technical officer of Opal Telecom, said: "Our strategy is to move quickly when we see new market opportunities. Being able to offer free broadband as part of a calling package provides The Carphone Warehouse with an opportunity to attract new customers, provide even better value to existing ones, whilst using the very profitable integrated service with a flexible IP infrastructure from Redback."
Redback's SmartEdge multi-service edge routers give network operators a graceful migration path to triple-play services, advanced business services such as unified communications and mobility services such as WiFi, WiMAX and mobile broadband networks. Redback uses a single system to manage data, voice and video services over next generation broadband networks. The platform is attractive to carriers because Redback uses a modular operating system and programmable processors that were specifically designed to manage different kinds of broadband IP services simultaneously. This flexible platform for multi-service networks give carriers higher levels of service consolidation, system availability, service scalability, and network mobility.
Twelve of the top 20 telephone carriers worldwide use SmartEdge routers for broadband, phone and TV services. Top carriers using SmartEdge include Belgacom, BellSouth, China Telecom, China Netcom, Chungwha Telecom (Taiwan), eAccess (Japan) France Telecom, Korea Telecom and Turk Telecom.
