SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 30, 2003--Corrigent Systems, a leading provider of packet-ADM (Add Drop Multiplexer) transport systems for metropolitan networks, today announced the expansion of its sales operations in the Japanese market with the opening of an office in Tokyo, Japan. The expanding operations reflect growing interest in packet-ADM products in this region of Asia-Pacific.
"In addition to the traction we are witnessing in North America, Corrigent Systems is now targeting additional opportunities overseas, especially in Japan," said Ehud Rokach, CEO. "The opening of our new Tokyo office and lab demonstrates our commitment to the Japanese market and our goal of working closely with potential customers in this region to best address their growing needs for state of the art, data-optimized transport solutions."
The new office, located at 2-7-16 Toranomon, Minato-ku Tokyo, is led by Akio Ogiso, Country Manager, who was previously with Lucent Japan as Managing Director.

"Our new office and lab in Tokyo will allow us to provide the support infrastructure for carrier customers in Japan."
