If You Had Been Reading Telecom Trends in November, 1998…
(Yes, 1998 is really dated, but you get the idea...if you want it first, come to us -- we still deliver.)
In November 1998, we profiled Castle Networks, a venture-funded telecom startup developing "carrier-class convergence products." We personally interviewed the company’s founders to get the scoop on this hot new startup. Our excitement was generated by four factors: the management team’s prior successes, significant venture funding, revolutionary product plans, and a potentially huge target market.
Castle believes there is a voice-switching gap in the network market. The emerging CLECs have a tremendous market opportunity, yet can’t compete if they base their networks on the same old equipment as the ILECs. Castle revealed that it would introduce a client-type PSTN edge switch that will enable carriers to penetrate new markets quickly.
Fast-forward to January, 1999. Castle’s product announcement has just hit the traditional industry publications. And, as Telecom Trends had predicted months earlier, the company has brought a hot product to market – its C2100 Services Mediation Platform, a next generation central office platform that can switch both voice and data traffic. But by now, of course, the horse is out of the barn, and the best opportunities have probably been snapped up.
But had you been reading Telecom Trends in November you could have jumped on this exploding company while the bandwagon was full of empty seats. Was someone listening...? Fast-forward to our April 1999 issue. We announced that Siemens acquired Castle for a cool few hundred million.
This is the kind of reliable, inside, advance information that creates huge profit opportunities. We do the research…we pick the best startups we can find…and deliver them to your doorstep each month.
