Performance test systems provider Ixia has expanded into the Latin American market by signing a distribution agreement with a Brazilian company. By getting its products out through distributor ETAILOR, the Calabasas-based Ixia meets the needs of Brazilian service providers, enterprises and network equipment manufacturers building IP-based networks. Carlos Arthur Barros has been appointed as vice president, Latin America. Brazil is the fourth largest mobile market in the world, surpassing 130 million wireless subscribers in May 2008. “The telecom market in Latin America is poised for tremendous growth,” said Barros. “We need strong relationships with local partners such as ETAILOR who can provide customers with the testing solutions best suited to their market, as well as foster the development of local IP-based testing.”
