Affirmed Networks Successfully Completes ISO 9001 Certification

ACTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Affirmed Networks, an emerging technology leader that is modernizing how mobile networks are architected, deployed, and monetized, today announced that it has received certification under the International Organization for Standardization’s ISO 9001:2008.

“At the same time, it signals that Affirmed understands operator requirements around the mobile packet core and that the company is serious in establishing a solid foundation for their AN3000 platform.”

The ISO audit process reviews and assesses a company’s quality management system, and ensures stated objectives are met. The ISO 9001:2008 certification confirms that Affirmed Networks has the quality and efficiency management systems in place, for the design of hardware and software solutions used in wireless telecommunications.

“Affirmed Networks is pleased to have met the demanding standards of this internationally recognized certification at such an early stage in our company’s development,” said Hassan M. Ahmed, Chairman and CEO of Affirmed Networks. “This is a significant accomplishment that underscores our ongoing commitment to excellence in every aspect of our company.”

Affirmed’s AN3000 uniquely combines virtualized software with industry standard hardware to overcome the major challenges operators face in economically scaling their mobile networks to meet subscriber usage and quality of experience demands.

The AN3000 is in trials with operators around the world.
