"We see a number of major carriers moving toward a network-based approach to IP services delivery in 2004," said Steve Goggiano, CoSine's president and CEO. "Our products were designed specifically to allow carriers to deliver network-based IP services in a cost-effective manner. And, our products have been proven in major carrier networks worldwide. Our task is to convert carrier interest into sustainable revenue growth. Our focus is on winning repeat business, capturing new customers, expanding our addressable market and developing strategic relationships." "In January, we announced two important new services offerings," continued Goggiano. "Driven by feedback from carriers and their enterprise customers, we have developed a set of services-centric B-RAS and Multicast features for our IPSX(TM) Service Processing Switch family. These features enable service providers to compete with the cable operators for bundled consumer services. We are excited about this opportunity because of the tremendous amount of growth in the broadband sector and the opportunity to provide CoSine's network-based IP and Broadband consumer services to enterprises whether they are using DSL, fiber to the porch, Wi-Fi, wireless or cable."
