Bruce McClelland: Yeah. Hey, Erik, yeah thanks for joining. Good question. It’s hard not to get excited about where India is headed at this point. Of course, it’s been a tougher area for us the last couple of years. But obviously, we’re seeing incremental investment going on. And it’s not just in telecom, but you probably saw this morning the big purchase around airlines, airplanes going into India and I think that tells you something about the economy. It’s pretty hot at this point. And the investment we’ve made over the last few years establishing the infrastructure that we have in India to support our customers hugely strategic for us. And part of the win part of the differentiation I think we bring is that local presence.
As I’ve mentioned to you a few times, we’ve got resources across all the major metro areas throughout India supporting our customers with the deployment of the products and that’s just a fundamental asset for us as a company. Bharti obviously is our lead strategic customer in the region, but the other operators such as Vodafone and even Tata are really important customers. I think it’s an interesting dynamic obviously with Reliance Jio being such a dominant force and creating a super competitive environment. And so how each of the operators reacts, I think will be a little bit different. Clearly, Bharti is kind of doubling down on the investment. And we’ll see what the other operators do and how we can expand our business in that region given the investment we’ve made there.
But it’s a really exciting market right now.
Erik Suppiger: And in terms of the new contract with Bharti, did you — what comments did you make earlier about that? How can we think of that in terms of 2023 contribution?
Bruce McClelland: Yeah. So in the last two months or so we’ve announced two new wins there, one around the Cell Site Router portfolio or product where we’re — which is a brand-new area for us, where we’re providing that edge router kind of an access level router right at the edge of the 5G mobile network. And then the new one we just announced yesterday is really on the optical transport layer in the long haul, the infrastructure investment they’re making around fiber. Both of these are significant wins for us multi-million dollars that we’re now shipping against in the first half of the year. Of course, if we execute well, we hope to compete and continue that and grow that business going forward. So we’re kind of in the early stages of deployment and off to a good start.
Erik Suppiger: Very good. Thank you.
Bruce McClelland: Thank you.
Operator: Thank you. There are no further questions at this time. I’d like to hand the call back over to Bruce McClelland for any closing comments.
Bruce McClelland: Yeah. Great. Thanks again for everyone being on the call and your interest in Ribbon Communications. We look forward to speaking with many of you at upcoming investor conferences. And we’ve got a big presence at major events such as Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the Optical Fiber Communication Conference in San Diego and Enterprise Connect coming up in Orlando. So I look forward to meeting many of you and continuing the discussion. And operator, thank you as well. This concludes our call.
Operator: This concludes today’s conference. You may disconnect your lines at this time. Thank you for your participation.
