Nashua, N.H. (September 24, 2007) — Ezenia, Inc (OTC Bulletin Board: EZEN.OB), a leading provider of real-time collaboration solutions for corporate and government networks and eBusiness, announced today that it has tripled the capacity of its existing Nashua headquarters facility. Such expansion allows for continued growth in the Sales and Marketing organizations including additional personnel for the Commercial market segment as well as further investments in the Development, Testing and Support groups. Among other functions, the new Nashua Operations Center will house the Company’s new Quality Assurance lab, an advanced Customer Training Center, as well as an expanded 24/7 Customer Service Center.
Concurrent with this expansion, the Company also announced plans to relocate its Colorado-based Development and Support operations to its New Hampshire headquarters.
