Telco Systems has acquired the major assets and intellectual property of ANDA Networks in an all cash transaction.
The acquisition will add ANDA's installed base of over 30,000 system platforms at Tier 1 carriers' networks in the US and Canada to Telco Systems' $2-billion worldwide installed base of service providers, mobile operators and cable multiple system operators.
Telco Systems EVP Avi Chen said ANDA's strong suite of Ethernet access products, in conjunction with their multi-service Ethernet edge solutions, will provide customers a complete range of choices for carrier Ethernet regardless of the installed infrastructure.
ANDA CEO Charles R. Kenmore said the combination with Telco Systems creates synergies in terms of technology and customers.
