Tolly Reports on Nortel
A few cool links regarding Nortel products at the Tolly Group’s website. Tolly has been doing product evaluation and testing for over 20 years (I don’t know the actual length, they don’t say on the website). They are independent and claim to be unbiased. I see their reports being used by a variety of people. Sometimes a commissioned test will not go as planned, and you’ll see the same company re-commission the same report several months later after they made changes to their equipment.
