11:43:25 AM | 8/22/2007

With an established position in Vietnam’s enterprise market, Nortel* [NYSE/TSX: NT], a globally recognized leader in delivering communications capabilities, today reaffirmed its commitment to Vietnam’s growing small and medium business (SMB) market with the introduction of its “Grow your business, Think small” SMB campaign. This specially designed offering will provide customers with big value in a small package - delivering simple and easy to use products at a very affordable price.
 
An integral part of Nortel’s global strategy, the new SMB portfolio caters to the specific needs and challenges of SMB customers. The new product range includes switches, routers and access points, and will feature Nortel’s SMB flagship Business Communications Manager (BCM50), as well as a digital hybrid PBX supplied by Nortel’s Korean joint-venture, LG-Nortel. SMB customers will benefit from both voice and data enabled solutions backed by Nortel’s carrier-grade industry standards, dedicated marketing and support infrastructure.
 
In view of the launch in Vietnam, Mr James Demers, Vice President, Nortel ASEAN and Pakistan said, “SMBs are in a unique position when it comes to technology infrastructure. There is a clear need to stay innovative and responsive as the business grows, but expensive converged solutions are ill-fit for their business requirements”.
 
The new comprehensive SMB portfolio will combine the traditionally distinct voice networking products and data networking products to provide a complete end-to-end solution.
 
Nortel’s new SMB focused channel program, nForce Select Partner Program provides its distributors and resellers incentives to grow and expand the range of Nortel products they offer in their market and rewards them with increased visibility and reach. Resellers can register for the program online at www.nortel.com/prd/ecpp/apac.html.
