Nortel Carrier VoIP still strong despite the company's Chaper 11 status

Nortel's Carrier VoIP and Application Server (CVAS) division is "still very much alive and kicking" despite the parent company's ongoing bankruptcy procedure, according to Sita Lowman, leader of marketing for the group.

"Our part of the organization is still number 1 in the world, even while under Chapter 11," Lowman said. "We haven't stopped anything under R&D, and we're ready for the divestiture to be behind us, so that we can provide the confidence to the customer," Lowman said. She added that Nortel CVAS would be launching new products at Supercomm in October, as the unit prepares to be auctioned like Nortel's wireless technology and Enterprise Solutions divisions.
