When and why did Aricent get into products?
Aricent made an early entry into the protocol stacks business in 1997 with the launch of its V5.2 access stack. Protocol stacks are the building block software for communication networks. With rich domain expertise in fixed, wireless and IP networks through its software services to its customers, and with the world communications market moving towards open standards software, Aricent found an early entry into the communications software products market.
