Bob, I posted the specs on JDSU's modulator. Compare them to KVH's preliminary specs from last year.

jdsu.com

JDSU has higher insertion loss of 5.5db to KVH's 4db (lower loss is better)
JDSU has lower extinction ratio of 20db to KVH's 23db (higher is better - both are ggod numbers though)
JDSU has lower S21 bandwidth of 30GHz to KVH's 50GHz (obviously higher is better)
JDSU drive voltage is 6V DC to KVH's 3V DC

The voltage may be the most important difference, but taken together, KVH's modulator is much more attractive. KVH's should also sell for less (lower costs anyway).
