When Goodman Networks incorporated in February of 2000 we were an
EFI&T service provider for a single customer. At that time the
customer was utilizing almost 100 other providers for their wireline
EFI&T services. Early on, Goodman project success and
quality quickly made us 1 of 3 wireline service providers and ultimately
the majority provider for their EFI&T services in Transport,
Access and Switch. Over the years our relationship has developed
to the point where we currently do over 90% of their EFI&T work
in the wireline sector.
A relationship and growth like this comes from understanding the
customer, their equipment and technologies as well as the technologies
and equipment upstream and downstream from where their network element
integrates. Being vendor neutral allows Goodman to have the
expertise on staff and within easy access through our OEM relationships
to create the solutions required by today's multi vendor converging
networks.
Goodman Wireline expertise includes expertise on network elements
from Adtran, Alcatel, Cisco, Fujitsu, Lucent, NEC, Nortel, Spirent,
Tellabs and others as well as telecom standards such as GR1275 and

Wireline expertise that mesh up in parallel with the larger picture
of today's converging networks.
