hyper-connectivity is nortel’s focus at gulfcomms 2007- nortel to also showcase several innovative technologies-

Nortel* [NYSE/TSX: NT] will highlight the growing importance of Hyper-Connectivity at this year’s GULFCOMMS at Gitex and will demonstrate how its promise of “Hyper-Connectivity & Business Made Simple” is an emerging reality.  Hyper-Connectivity is defined by Nortel as an era in which anything that can be connected to the network, will be connected, encompassing person-to-person, person-to-machine and machine-to-machine communication.

The global supplier of end-to-end communications solutions will also showcase its:
Latest SMB Converged Voice & Data solutions which, by combining voice and data networks through converged technology enables businesses to realise significant cost savings
Carrier IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystems) that will be an important platform for a hyper-connected world
4G technology such as WiMAX which can provide a much simpler network model and method for connecting devices of all kinds while at the same time driving out complexity and cost.

“Hyper-connectivity is no longer a buzzword, it is a growing reality,” said Ramin Attari, Nortel’s VP Middle East.  “Nortel is making it easy for customers to capitalise on Hyper-Connectivity, an era in which the demand for multiple connections – anywhere, anytime and from any device – is exploding.  At Gitex, we will be able to show customers how they can capitalise on this technology and simplify their business. We are best positioned to seize the opportunity of Hyper-Connectivity and take advantage of this key industry inflection point.”
Ramin added: “GULFCOMMS at Gitex will also enable us to showcase a broad range of Nortel’s next-generation innovative products and solutions for SMB, conduct live demos and focus on ICA which is the Innovative Communications Alliance between Nortel and Microsoft for SMB, Enterprise and Carrier.”

Nortel aims to gain a significant share of customers in the Middle East region which has established itslef as a business, industry and investment hub in the 21st century.
