Factual updates

Propose the consideration of the following updates to this page:

Radisys re-branded a few years ago and the company name now has a lowercase 's'.

The company has also shifted its focus and would be better described as "a company that makes technology used by telecommunications companies in 3G, 4G and LTE mobile networks."

As of 2015, Radisys first-quarter revenues totaled $48.7 million, and employed 700 people worldwide

Products and services include FlowEngine traffic distribution systems for SDN and NFV, MediaEngine media processing platforms for VoLTE, WebRTC, and network transcoding, and CellEngine small cell protocol software and wireless network software technologies. The company's products are used in mobile network applications such as small cell Radio Access Networks (RAN), wireless core network elements, deep packet inspection (DPI) and policy management equipment; conferencing, and media services including voice, video and data.

Radisys’ products today include two core areas: Software-Systems and Embedded Products and Hardware Services. Its Software-Systems division includes traffic distribution systems for SDN/NFV environments, media processing platforms for delivery of VoLTE, VoWiFi and WebRTC, and transcoding, and small cell protocol software for 3G and LTE radio access networks. Its Embedded Products and Hardware Services division comprises the ATCA, COM Express, RMS and other products.

Radisys’ technology is used in a wide variety of 3G & 4G / LTE mobile network applications, including small cell Radio Access Networks, wireless core network elements, deep packet inspection and policy management equipment, conferencing and media services such as voice, video and data.

In 2015, Radisys announced customer wins with Nokia, ZTE, and Metaswitch. It announced a significant order with an Asian carrier in June 2015. Nokia Networks was the largest customer in 2014, accounting for 17 percent of 2014 revenues.

Generally speaking, thanks for taking it to the talk page and especially for notifying WikiProject Oregon, since this is a quiet enough talk page that it may not have been seen. That was the perfect thing to do.

Changing the product focus is fine, I'm leery about the marketingspeak of much of the content, however. It's written from the POV of the company and doesn't sound neutral at all. My issue isn't "balance", it's "tone". tedder (talk) 16:34, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

Following up on request from L dozer

Hi, I was trying to follow up on a request from my colleague, L dozer on behalf of our client Radisys. We are looking to get a few factual changes made to the article on their business but have a conflict of interest and do not believe we should edit it ourselves. We initially made this request back in June of this year and were hoping someone could help us resolve this issue.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Starsnfreckles (talk • contribs) 16:28, 27 October 2015 (UTC)

@Tedder: since you reviewed this article previously, could you look over Draft:Radisys? –Fredddie™ 12:48, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Comments on the draft:

• no external links in article (1q revenue in lede, 'investor relations' on 'number of employees'); revenue should be yearly; employee numbers don't match infobox
• ceo, employee count, revenue perhaps could be omitted, they aren't on Amazon.com's article, for instance.
• the product list in the lede is a little long.
• (minor) wikilinks missing from the lede
• additions in the last paragraph of history should be moved (back) to 'products'.

Updates

I wish to update the content and facts on the Radisys wikipedia page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radisys

The content and facts have not been updated since 2009. I understand and respect not to provide a sales pitch. Instead, I want to update the existing page with 2016 facts and figures.

How do I go about updating the content on this page? I'll be honest - I have never used a Wiki before, and just today signed up for a Wikipedia account - Radensamer.

I look forward to a prompt response, so I can get this factual update applied quickly.

Thanks in advance (Radensamer (talk) 20:55, 21 September 2016 (UTC))

First, best not to post personal info here. Then, the main thing is to find a source for the info. For instance, the 10k works for the financials. Then, just try to follow the existing formats in the article and make the update. Aboutmovies (talk) 21:11, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Update the Radisys Wiki

Hi, I'm an employee at Radisys. I have been provided with some updated info for the company. I'm a novice to editing Wikipedia and would appreciate any pointers. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.

Here is what we think that the updated info should read:

Radisys Corporation is a publicly traded company located in Hillsboro, Oregon, United States that makes technology used by telecommunications companies in 3G, 4G and LTE mobile networks. Founded in 1987 in Oregon by former employees of Intel, the company went public in 1995. Products and services include FlowEngine traffic distribution platforms, DCEngine hyperscale data center infrastructure solution, MediaEngine media processing solutions, and CellEngine small cell protocol software and wireless network software technologies. The company's products are used in mobile network applications such as small cell Radio Access Networks (RAN), wireless core network elements, deep packet inspection (DPI) and policy management equipment; conferencing, and media services including voice, video and data. As of 2015, Radisys first-quarter revenues totaled $48.7 million, and employed 700 people worldwide. Brian Bronson is the company's chief executive officer. History Radisys was founded in 1987 as Radix Microsystems in Beaverton, Oregon, by former Intel engineers Dave Budde and Glen Myers.[2][3][4] The first investors were employees who put up $50,000 each, with Tektronix later investing additional funds into the company.[4] Originally located in space leased from Sequent Computer Systems, by 1994 the company had grown to annual sales of $20 million.[5] The company's products were computers used in end products such as automated teller machines to paint mixers.[4] On October 20, 1995, the company became a publicly traded company when it held an initial public offering (IPO).[6] The IPO raised $19.6 million for Radisys after selling 2.7 million shares at $12 per share.[6] In 1996, the company moved it headquarters to a new campus in Hillsboro, and at that time sales reached $80 million and the company had a profit of $9.6 million that year with 175 employees.[4][7] Company co-founder Dave Budde left the company in 1997, with company revenues at $81 million annually at that time.[8] The company grew in part by acquisitions such as Sonitech International in 1997,[9] part of IBM's Open Computing Platform unit[10] and Texas Micro in 1999,[11] all of S-Link in 2001,[12] and Microware also in 2001.[13] Radisys also moved some production to China in order to take advantage of the lower manufacturing costs.[14] In 2002, the company had grown to annual revenues of $200 million, and posted a profit in the fourth quarter for the first time in several quarters.[15] That year Scott Grout was named as chief executive officer of the company and C. Scott Gibson became the chairman of the board,[16] both replacing Glen Myers who co-founded the company.[17] The company sold off its signaling gateway line in 2003.[18] The company continued to grow through acquisitions such as a $105 million deal that added Convedia Corp. in 2006.[22][23] Radisys continued buying assets when it purchased part of Intel's communications business for about $30 million in 2007.[24] After five-straight quarterly losses, the company posted a profit of $481,000 in their 2009 fourth quarter.[25] In May 2011, the company announced they were buying Continuous Computing for $105 million in stock and cash.[26] Once the transaction was completed in July 2011, Continuous' CEO Mike Dagenais became the CEO of Radisys.[26][27][28] Dagenais left the company in October 2012 with former CFO Brian Bronson taking over as CEO.[27] Operations

Company headquarters The company's world headquarters are located in the Dawson Creek Industrial Park adjacent to the headquarters of FEI Company in Hillsboro, Oregon, within the Portland metropolitan area. Radisys in 2015 has approximately 700 employees located in offices in the United States (Oregon), India ([Bangalore]), China (Shenzhen), and Canada (Burnaby, BC).[1] Overall, the company only builds about 15 percent of their products, with the remainder outsourced to other companies.[1] Products Radisys supports two markets: communications networking and commercial systems.[1] The latter makes products for use in the testing, medical imaging, defense, and industrial automation fields.[1] For example, end-products that Radisys' is a supplier to original equipment manufacturers include items such as MRI scanners, ultrasound equipment, logic analyzers, and items used in semiconductor manufacturing.[1] Communications networking equipment includes those for wireless communications, switches, distribution of video, and internet protocol based networking equipment to name a few.[1] The company collaborates with its customers' in-house engineering groups, providing expertise in computer architecture, systems integration, embedded operating systems such as OS-9, ASIC design, and middleware. Its modular platforms and building blocks are based on custom form factors as well as industry standards such as AdvancedTCA, COM Express, CompactPCI, and PCI. In 2009, Radisys' biggest customers are Philips Healthcare, Agilent, Fujitsu, Danaher Corporation, and Nokia Siemens Network (NSN).[1] NSN was the largest single customer, totaling over 43% of revenues.[1]
