Letter to Nortel Users
As many of you know Nortel is seeking to sell all assets and not expected to emerge from Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. There is already a $650 million dollar offer from Nokia for the Carrier division of Nortel.
It is widely predicted that the Nortel, as a company, will cease to exist in the very near future. As of June 10th 2009, Rel Comm’s relationship with Nortel as an authorized dealer was terminated. We as a company, simply could not continue to promote Nortel products and to paint a picture to our customers that "everything is just fine" when nothing could be farther from the truth.
As far as I am concerned, there is absolutely no value in being an Authorized Dealer for a company that is in the process of liquidating all assets.
Rel Comm not only has a substantial inventory of Nortel components, but we also have numerous lines of supply and the same technical expertise that we have always had to provide quality service and support.
The latest news is that Avaya has put an offer of $475 Million toNortel to acquire the Enterprise division. The game plan is probably to obtain the Nortel customer base and then attempt to sell that base into Avaya IP products before the customers go elsewhere.

We, as a company, have been promoting Mitel as a cost effective migration strategy for existing Nortel Customers.
Mitel and Rel Comm developed an integration package that will allow the Mitel 3300 IP PBX to communicate with your existing Nortel PBX.
This eliminates the need to "forklift" your existing Nortel system while investing future dollars into a better platform (Mitel) at your own pace.
Please email migrateNT@rcomm.com for information regarding your contingency plan.
