Critical Telecom's GEmini(TM) Remote Ethernet DSLAM to be distributed
by leading telecom supplier as part of their Broadband Access
Portfolio

Critical Telecom Corp. Based on
the company's new generation architecture, GEmini is the first of a
new class of product that is purpose built for the marriage of fiber
and copper anywhere in the access network enabling the cost-effective
delivery of high bandwidth services. GEmini's processing engine has the
power to enhance Layer 2 functionality with IP feature sets that
enable intelligence to be distributed to the network edge when and
where required thereby minimizing stranded investment for future
growth.

in our Albin exchange, we knew it was time to upgrade to fiber," Becky Dooley,
vice president and general manager of RT Communications, said.
