Expansion in IP networking market results in regional reorganization to improve on-site service 

Taipei, Taiwan – September 17, 2008 - Xtera Communications, provider of world class solutions enabling communications companies to profitably deliver high-bandwidth services and leader in network management devices, has announced the expansion of its APAC operations to meet the increasing demands of IP networking products and services. Xtera has scheduled for the expansion of customer support from China and Taiwan to whole APAC region.

"Apart from AscenVision's previously established sales presence in Mainland China and Taiwan, Xtera Communications has now used its global marketing resources to firmly establish a strong foothold in Asia Pacific to optimize APAC sales," commented Xtera Sr. Vice President of APAC Sales, Steve Robinson.

"As Xtera boosts APAC marketing resources, global enterprises will increasingly enjoy full consultancy service in network deployment. This will reduce deployment risk and significantly improve on-site service efficiency," said Chinming Kuo, Xtera Corp Vice President and President Greater China.  

With the sales teams in Hong Kong, South Korea, Philippines, and Malaysia joining China and Taiwan, APAC regional support now has over 30 members dedicated to IP networking services.
