Sunnyvale, CA – October 9, 2009 – ANDA Networks, the leader in carrier-class fiber and copper-based access network platforms, today announced it has been chosen by Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal as one of the 2009 “Fast 70” private companies. This award recognizes ANDA for its success in offering Ethernet access solutions that enable mobile operators and carriers to meet the strong demand for higher bandwidth and deliver superior performance-backed service level agreements based on granular real-time Quality of Service (QoS) metrics from ANDA’s award-winning EtherProbe monitoring solution.

"To be recognized as one of the fastest growing private companies in Silicon Valley is the result of ANDA’s carrier customers voting with their wallets that our Ethernet Access technology adds real value their network. They have rewarded us with high margins that have kept ANDA growing and profitable during one of the most difficult capital constrained times in telecom,” noted ANDA President and CEO Charles Kenmore. “The Chairman of the FCC recently pointed out that projections for mobile data traffic are expected to show a 30-fold increase in demand, with only a 3-fold increase in bandwidth, creating a 10-to-one gap. ANDA provides our mobile operator and carrier customers with the most innovative, cost-effective solutions to help them meet the challenges of exponential demand for Ethernet-based mobile backhaul and managed business services.”

ANDA Networks provides carrier Ethernet access products that enable service providers to offer and manage complex bandwidth-intensive services, such as wireless backhaul converged VoIP, video, and mobile multimedia data services.  The increasing demand for these services leads to increased Carrier Ethernet 2.0 adoption rates of ANDA’s products as service providers require immediate real-time insight into their networks for rapid diagnostics, provisioning, proactive management and billing. ANDA’s EtherProbe™ performance monitoring capabilities address these issues through direct integration into the access device, thus giving service providers true end-to-end network visibility without unnecessary network elements 

The Fastest-Growing Private Companies Award is given annually to 70 of Silicon Valley’s private companies, based on revenues, growth and profitability from 2006 to 2008.
