Bell Canada Trialing Nortel Networks Optera Metro Innovative D-WDM Networking Solution To�Enable On-Demand Provisioning of Data Bandwidth Bell Canada Trialing Nortel Networks OPTera Metro innovative D-WDM networking solution toenable on-demand provisioning of data bandwidth. Submitted by: Pleon Tuesday, 23 February 1999 SAN DIEGO -- After successful initial testing in late 1998, Bell Canada, Canada's largest telecommunications provider, plans to trial Nortel Networks'* [NYSE: NT/TSE: NTL] OPTera* Metro open D-WDM networking solution. This trial is part of Bell's plan to deploy a flexible platform that can readily respond to their customers' needs for more bandwidth and multi-protocol data connections across Canada. The scalability, survivability and simple point-and-click provisioning of OPTera Metro addresses the bandwidth explosion in metropolitan areas by speeding up the flow of network traffic locally and to the optical transport backbone. Successful completion of this trial is expected to result in network deployment within the next six months. "Our customers need not only a very fast access to the Internet but an easy and flexible way to connect all type of multimedia devices without service delays or the need for costly adaptations," said Bao Le, vice-president, Network and Technology, Bell Canada. "We are evaluating Nortel Networks' OPTera Metro system as the potential solution to eliminate the bandwidth bottleneck between our customers' LAN's (Local Area Networks) and high-speed optical networks while substantially reducing the operational and maintenance costs usually associated with providing multi-protocol multimedia services." With Nortel Networks' OPTera Metro networking solution, Bell Canada would be able to use up to 32 ring-protected wavelengths (different light colors) per fiber to connect their customers' traffic regardless of the protocol they are using (for example, SONET, ESCON, FDDI, Fast/Gigabit Ethernet, ATM and video). Data services can be networked in their native format through a single interface in the system with keyboard provisioning, reducing the cost and the set-up time traditionally involved with other network connection methods. Page 1 OPTera Metro optimizes the use of the current fiber infrastructure and provides flexible connectivity over a point-to-point or survivable ring-based network that ensures millisecond restoration in case of a fiber cut; a key requirement for the transmission of mission critical and time sensitive information such as financial transactions, voice and video. "OPTera Metro is compliant with global standards and provides survivability for SONET/SDH and native data protocols such as Gigabit Ethernet, ESCON and FDDI," said Brian McFadden, vice-president and general manager, OPTera Solutions, Nortel Networks. "The open and flexible architecture of OPTera enables carriers and enterprise customers to implement Forecast Tolerant Networks*-- taking the uncertainity out of network provisioning and turning time to market and new service delivery into a competitive advantage." "The acquisition of Cambrian Systems Corporation by Nortel Networks is complementary to the company's existing product lines and is quickly paying dividends for both Nortel Networks and its customers," said Mathew Steinberg, director of Optical Networking at RHK (Ryan Hankin Kent), a leading telecommunications consulting firm. "Metropolitan area networks (MAN) --the links between carrier switching centers, Internet service providers, and corporate networks-- will require investment from the carriers to better support the influx of data traffic entering the public network." Nortel Networks' OPTera portfolio that enables carriers and enterprises to build a new class of cost-effective, scalable and flexible networks is being demonstrated at the Optical Fiber Conference (OFC) in San Diego, February 22-26, 1999, (booth 1801), including OPTera Metro and OPTera LH (Long-Haul) solutions. Bell Canada, the largest Canadian telecommunications operating company, markets a full range of state-of-the-art products and services to more than seven million business and residence customers in Ontario and Quebec.

  • Verizon Wireless Selects Nortel Networks for US$500 Million Network Buildout Submitted By: Pleon Wednesday, 12 April 2000
    Verizon Wireless Selects Nortel Networks for US$500 Million Network Buildout Submitted by: Pleon Wednesday, 12 April 2000 Wireless, Optical Investment Paves Way for Expanded Capacity and Coverage to Meet Strong Customer Demand NEW YORK - Moving quickly to fulfil the bold promise of its new national brand, Verizon Wireless today announced it signed a letter of intent to purchase an estimated US$500 million in wireless and optical equipment from Nortel Networks* [NYSE/TSE: NT]. This planned agreement is expected to provide significant savings to Verizon Wireless' network infrastructure costs. Nortel Networks and Verizon Wireless expect to enter into a two-year agreement that will enable Verizon Wireless to increase capacity and coverage in key markets and offer high-capacity, cost-effective and reliable wireless services to its customers nationwide. The agreement also is expected to include optical transport and asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switches for major metropolitan markets, and additional equipment for expansion of an existing microwave backbone network. Last week, Verizon Wireless announced one of the wireless industry's largest planned capital investments. By the end of 2000, the company will invest more than US$3 billion in its nationwide network to further expand its digital footprint and increase capacity for wireless voice and data services. This investment will involve the properties of GTE Wireless (based on the close of the Bell Atlantic and GTE Corporation merger). "Continued investment in our CDMA network will enable Verizon Wireless to efficiently and cost-effectively expand its CDMA network to support today's subscriber growth and meet future growth forecasts," said Richard Lynch, executive vice president and chief technical officer of Verizon Wireless.

By ERIC J. COFFILL, ROBERT P. MERTEN III and NICHOLAS J. KUMP ERIC J. COFFILL is Senior Counsel in the Sacramento Office of Sutherland Asbill & Brennan LLP. He can be contacted at [email protected] or 916.241.0508. ROBERT P. MERTEN III is an associate in the same office and can be contacted at 916.241.0512 or [email protected]. NICHOLAS J. KUMP is also an associate in that office and can be contacted at 916.241.0516 or [email protected]. As consumer products become more high tech, the line between computers and traditional devices has blurred. Even basic products, such as toothbrushes, alarm clocks, doorbells, smartphones, cameras, home security systems, printers and copiers now include technical software that enables new functionality options for the device. As a general principle, tangible personal property, but not intangibles or services, is subject to California Sales and Use Tax.1 Software "embedded" into a product has value distinct from the value of the rest of the device and that distinct (intangible) value is not subject to sales tax. On the heels of two recent taxpayer victories in the California Court of Appeal relating to taxation of software, this article discusses current developments on how to treat such embedded software for California sales (and use) tax purposes.
