SUNNYVALE, CA – June 24, 2008 – RGB
Networks, the leader in network video processing, today announced
that it is expanding its engineering team with the addition of
Charles Corbalis as the company’s new Vice President of Engineering.
Corbalis is charged with overseeing the continued development
of RGB’s expanding product line, which enable cable television
operators and other service providers to deliver increasingly
personalized and on-demand video services.
Corbalis’ extensive experience includes more than 25 years
in senior engineering and business management roles. Most recently
Corbalis was co-founder, president and CEO of Calient Networks,
where he recruited and led a team of professionals in the development,
marketing and sales of the world’s largest photonic switch
fabric utilizing MEMS technology. Prior to co-founding Calient,
he was vice president and general manager of Cisco Systems’ Multiservice
Switching / WAN Business Unit, which he built to $700 million in
annual sales. In this role, he worked closely with the technical
and marketing leadership within many service providers such as AT&T,
WorldCom, NTT and Telecom Italia, to tailor and adapt the Cisco
products. Prior to its acquisition by Cisco, Corbalis was co-founder
and vice president of engineering at StrataCom, Inc., which he
helped grow to $300 million. Corbalis holds over sixteen patents.
“Charles is joining at the perfect time to help us accelerate
our continued growth worldwide and enable our service provider customers
to revolutionize television,” said Jef Graham, CEO of RGB
Networks. “Television is increasingly becoming a personalized
service which consumers can enjoy anywhere – from their home
to their mobile phone – and with the programs they want available
to them on-demand. RGB is playing a key role in this transformation
and Charles’ proven ability to lead engineering teams will
help us provide the innovative video processing solutions needed
to complete this revolution.”
“RGB Networks has already established itself as a leader,
having won deals with the nation’s largest cable television
and telecommunications companies, and there is significant opportunity
to continue this success,” said Corbalis. “Working closely
with Jef and the company’s top-flight engineering team, I’m
confident we can continue to expand RGB’s extensive portfolio
of leading-edge solutions and capture even more business across
many industries worldwide.”
