Redback Networks Inc. (NASDAQ:RBAK), a market leader in
multi-service edge routers for next generation IP networks, today
announced the appointment of Dr. Alan Lippman as chief video
architect and director of technology planning. One of the fathers
of streaming media, Dr. Lippman helped invent streaming audio and
video products for Real Networks twelve years ago and will help
develop software technologies for Redback that will allow telephone
carriers to accelerate the delivery of high-bandwidth video
services. �Video is the biggest game-changer in network routing
today. It is also the single biggest force driving network upgrades
worldwide. We�re thrilled Alan Lippman is joining our Redback
team,� said Scott Marshall, senior vice president, engineering and
product management at Redback Networks. �As one of the original
developers of streaming media, Lippman adds a very unique set of
skills to Redback, focused on the delivery of IP-based audio and
video over broadband networks. Lippman is a recognized expert in
managing video and audio delivery in both multicast and unicast
network environments. Redback is laser-focused on accelerating
video network innovation on behalf of our carrier customers.� Dr.
Lippman was one of the first five employees at RealNetworks, and
was one of the original creators of RealAudio and RealVideo, which
have been downloaded hundreds of millions of times. He was the
first member of the development team for RealAudio, and served as
chief engineer and as a key developer for all major product
releases for RealVideo through 2001. At RealNetworks, Dr. Lippman
was the principal architect behind the real-time encoding and
decoding of audio and video on the web that later became known as
�streaming media.� In 2001, Dr. Lippman founded Trusted Media
Networks, Inc. (TMN), a start-up focused on the delivery of
high-bandwidth audio and video over any size network pipe, where he
filed several patents focused on audio and video delivery. Dr.
Lippman holds a BSM in Mathematics from the University of
Washington, which he received at the age of 14, and graduated at 18
with a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from Brown University. Before
working as a software developer, Lippman worked as an
oceanographer, studying climate change and predicting significant
weather events. At Redback, Lippman will work directly for
Marshall. �Redback has a great history of Internet innovation,
creating smart but simple network platforms to integrate broadband,
phone and TV services for carriers,� said Dr. Lippman. �I believe
the next wave of growth opportunities will introduce more
innovation in the next three years than the last 30 years combined.
