The Company delivers next generation Internet backbone routers that are specifically designed, or purpose-built, for service provider networks. The Company's flagship product is the M40 Internet backbone router, and it recently introduced the M20, an Internet backbone router purpose-built for emerging service providers. The Company's Internet backbone routers combine the features of the JUNOS Internet Software, high performance ASIC-based packet forwarding technology and Internet-optimized architecture into a purpose-built solution for service providers. Unlike conventional routers, which were originally developed for enterprise applications and are increasingly inadequate for service provider use in public networks, the Company's Internet backbone routers are specifically designed to accommodate the size and scope of the Internet. Company may announce a stock split during the next board meeting scheduled for Oct. 11th.
