Customers who demand new and better solutions to achieve their goals, reduce costs, or enter new businesses. Nortel is continually working to ensure that the total resources of our company remain focused on the success of our customers.

In late October, Nortel's Northern Telecom (CALA) Corporation will be moving to its new headquarters in Sunrise, Florida. Northern Telecom (CALA) was established in 1975 and was the first telecommunications company to introduce a complete line of fully digital switching systems in the Caribbean and Latin American markets. The region encompasses 47 countries and territories from Bermuda to the southern tip of South America.
