Sonus Networks (NASDAQ: SONS), the Westford, MA-based maker of voice-over-IP software and equipment for wireless, cable, and telephone companies, announced today that it has cut 93 workers, or approximately 10 percent of its global workforce. Richard Nottenburg, Sonus’s CEO and president, called the layoffs “the final phase of the restructuring initiative we began at the end of last year with the goal of re-aligning our business to market needs and opportunities.” Sonus laid off 50 workers last December, 40 in January, and 60 in March.
