| "CGL is reaching the stage where Linux was four years ago at the
| enterprises. It's still in the growth phase but already carriers and
| network equipment vendors (NEPs) are attracted to the overall benefits
| of Linux-vendor independence, openness, extensibility, and cost-and
| they recognize its potential for their markets," says Satish Mohan,
| head, Engineering, Red Hat India.
|
| As the market for Linux-based telecommunication products continues to
| grow, products based on CGL are being developed by some of the world's
| largest equipment manufacturers and Linux software developers. Mukul
| Agrawal, managing director, Unisys Global Services India, shares some
| encouraging signs, "The tide is turning for the telecommunications
| market. Recent announcements from a number of ISPs demonstrate the
| increasing adoption of Linux to reduce costs and enable a higher level
| of flexibility in telecommunications devices. CGL is increasingly
| being adopted by telecom service providers, airlines and banks."
