Given the difficult telecom environment, we are very pleased with CIENA’s performance in 2001, said Gary Smith, CIENA’s president and CEO. We believe our financial results – growth of 87 percent in revenue and 94 percent in adjusted net income – point to CIENA’s strength and market leadership.
CIENA continues to diversify its customer base, adding five new customers in its fiscal fourth quarter, including AFN and eAccess, as well as a previously unannounced MultiWave Metro customer, Teleglobe.
