Enterasys Networks(R) (NYSE: ETS), the Secure Networks Company(TM),
today announced that Telefonica, the leading Spanish fixed and
mobile telecoms operator, has deployed an Enterasys Secure Network
at the company's new Madrid headquarters. Spanning 15 buildings,
four city districts and 14,000 employees, the Secure Networks
infrastructure provides unprecedented flexibility to support
Telefonica's new mobile working culture, which is centered on
dynamic teams defined by individual roles and objectives. The
Secure Network provides Telefonica with centralized definition and
deployment of user policies, as well as management of the
infrastructure down to the individual device and user
level--including enabling secure guest access. The embedded
security capabilities protect the mission-critical information that
moves across the network. Each employee has a flexible and personal
access profile that follows them as they move throughout the
network environment, ensuring the highest levels of collaborative
access, mobility of location or device, and security. "The network
infrastructure must be an enabler of collaboration, not an
impediment," said John Roese, chief technology officer of Enterasys
Networks. "This level of user-focused flexibility and granular
control is the hallmark of Secure Networks, and it enables
Telefonica and enterprises worldwide to maintain business
continuity while ensuring that the vital data and customer
information that traverses the network is protected from a wide
range of internal and external threats." Telefonica has deployed
Enterasys Matrix(TM) N-Series Platinum switches with NetSight(R)
policy manager. The company chose the N-Series for its unique,
no-single-point-of-failure architecture and support for Power over
Ethernet, as well as a seamless upgrade path to support 10Gb
Ethernet. Telefonica chose NetSight policy manager for its ability
to centralize control of the entire infrastructure, while providing
holistic visibility and granular control down to the network
device, individual user and application. The Enterasys Secure
Networks Advantage Enterasys' industry-leading Secure Networks
products and solutions provide the industry's most comprehensive

Enterasys designs into its entire product line. Enterasys' unique
architectural approach offers significant operational and business
benefits, unmatched by vendors that add hardware or software to

This news release contains forward-looking statements regarding
future events, activities and financial performance, such as
management's expectations regarding future revenue and cash flow;
strategic relationships and market opportunities; product
development; and other business strategies and objectives. These
statements may be identified with such words as "we expect," "we
believe," "we anticipate," or similar indications of future
expectations. These statements are neither promises nor guarantees,
and actual future financial performance, events and activities may
differ materially. Readers are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on these statements, which speak only as of the date
hereof. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update such
statements publicly to reflect changes in the expectations,
assumptions, events or circumstances on which such statements may
be based or that may affect the likelihood that actual results will
differ materially. Some risks and uncertainties that may cause
actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to: worldwide and regional
economic uncertainty and recent political and social turmoil may
continue to negatively affect our business and revenue; we have a
history of losses in recent years and may not operate profitably in
the future; our quarterly operating results may fluctuate, which
could cause us to fail to meet quarterly operating targets and
result in a decline in our stock price; we earn a substantial
portion of our revenue for each quarter in the last month of each
quarter, which reduces our ability to accurately forecast our
quarterly results and increases the risk that we will be unable to
achieve previously forecasted results; we continue to introduce new
products, and if our customers delay product purchases or choose
alternative solutions, or if sales of new products are not
sufficient to offset declines in sales of older products, our
revenue could decline, we may incur excess and obsolete inventory
charges, and our financial condition could be harmed; we may be
unable to upgrade our indirect distribution channels or otherwise
enhance our selling capabilities, which may hinder our ability to
grow our customer base and increase our revenue; we have
experienced significant changes in senior management and our
current management team has been together for only a limited time,
which could limit our ability to achieve our objectives and
effectively operate our business; there is intense competition in
the market for enterprise network equipment, which could prevent us
from increasing our revenue and achieving profitability; a portion
of the enterprises we sell to rely in whole or in part on public
funding and often face significant budgetary pressure, and if these
customers must delay, reduce or forego purchasing from us, our
revenues could be harmed; we depend upon a limited number of
contract manufacturers for substantially all of our manufacturing
requirements, and the loss of any of our primary contract
manufacturers would impair our ability to meet the demands of our
customers; and those additional risks and uncertainties discussed
in our most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including our definitive proxy statement filed on
January 17, 2006, and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the
fiscal quarter ended October 1, 2005.
