    San Jose-based Redback Networks (News - Alert) Inc. announced on
    Wednesday that more than 70 carrier customers have deployed its
    SmartEdge 100 multi-service edge router, making it one of the fastest
    growing routers in the industry.

    Introduced in March 2006, the SmartEdge 100 is Redback's smallest
    all-in-one router for data, voice, and video services.

    A subsidiary of global telecom giant Ericsson (News - Alert), Redback
    networks has a history of making video-centric routers for world's
    largest triple-play networks.

    Redback notes that over the past 18 months, more 70 carriers in 35
    countries deployed SmartEdge 100.

    "The SmartEdge 100 is an ideal solution for carriers in emerging
    markets, as well as for all carriers providing broadband service
    to multi-dwelling buildings," said Simon Williams, VP of product
    management, business development and strategy for Redback Networks,
    in a statement.

    Redback's routers enable PCs and mobile devices to access the Internet.

    According to Redback, telephone carriers have deployed the SmartEdge
    100 in several countries - from Armenia to Australia, Brazil to
    Cambodia, and Malaysia to Mexico.

    The SmartEdge 100 uses the same operating system as Redback's larger
    routers, and supports many of the same network applications for data,
    voice and video services.

    Today, Redback Networks is managing 63 million broadband subscribers
    for 15 of the top 20 telephone carriers worldwide.

    Moreover, its multi-service routing platform also delivers next
    generation broadband services such as VoIP, IPTV, On-Demand Video,
    and on-line gaming.
