Acton, MA—October 29, 2008—Mintera® Corporation, the high bit-rate optical transport systems solution leader, today announced the appointment of Rick Lane as Vice President, Operations.

Mr. Lane is responsible for managing the production of Mintera’s 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps transport solutions and he assumes responsibility for oversight of the company’s supplier and contract manufacturing relationships.

“I am excited to welcome Rick to the Mintera team,” said Mintera CEO Terry Unter. “His excellent experience in bringing leading-edge technology products from concept to volume manufacturing will be essential as we ramp our supply chain to meet the growing demands of our customers. The added strength in Operations will also allow us to put increased emphasis on quality systems.”
