Nortel entered creditor protection in January 2009 and its businesses were sold separately, so different Nortel product lines have different current owners.
2009: Enterprise Solutions (Meridian and CS1000 PBX, BCM) went to Avaya.
2010: Metro Ethernet Networks (OPTera and OME optical transport) went to Ciena.
2009 to 2010: the carrier wireless businesses went to Ericsson.
