CUPERTINO,CA--(Marketwire - August 27, 2007) - iamba Networks, a leading provider of gigabit
passive optical networking (GPON) solutions, today announced John Mein has
joined the company in the position of Vice President, Worldwide Sales. He
reports to Moshe Nattiv, iamba Networks President and CEO, and will oversee
the company's global sales operations including sales, applications, and
services.
"John brings to iamba decades of hands-on experience in sales in the
telecom and networking semiconductors industry. His intimate knowledge of
the varied aspects of the PON market coupled with his very strong technical
foundations make John an ideal match for our company," said Nattiv. "Our
entire team and I are excited to have John join iamba. We look forward to
working with John to deliver iGES, iamba's GPON Eco-System, to the global
GPON markets."
Mein brings to Iamba over 30 years' experience in sales, applications and
engineering serving the last 10 years as Vice President of sales at
semiconductor companies. Mein served most recently as Vice President of
Worldwide Sales at privately held Teknovus, Inc., a provider of fourth
generation EPON chipsets, where he grew revenues significantly in three
years. Prior to Teknovus, he was Vice President of Worldwide Sales at Quake
Technologies, Inc., a fabless semiconductor company providing physical
layer (PHY) ICs for 10Gb/s applications for enterprise, data and storage
networks. At Quake Mein grew revenues over 18 consecutive quarters from
zero to $18M annually. Prior to Quake, Mein was Vice President of Sales at
Galileo Technologies, a semiconductor company focused on embedded control

"I believe that the future of Access lies in the high-data rates and
low-cost of maintenance offered to operators worldwide by carrier-class
GPON technology. The extensive field trials and strong initial customer
acceptance of solutions developed at iamba Networks coupled with the
company's superior engineering expertise were key factors in my decision to
join the company. I look forward to leading the sales efforts at iamba as
we move from FPGA-based solutions to feature-rich and highly cost effective
ASIC-based products," says Mein.
