“What that allows you to do is to make an investment in an architecture that today might be carrying Ethernet and IP ports, but tomorrow might need to switch to T1, TDM, or storage technology.

Gary Smith

Darrin Morrison
“Appointment and trim features in houses are very important today. You now see people demanding more interesting architectural features.”
