I listened to part of the conference call. I understand that, at present, Nortel does not deploy a tunable laser in their system. They deploy a fixed wavelength laser which means one laser part per channel. With a tunable laser, they need only one laser part for the conventional band and one laser part for the extended band. Nortel makes a first generation tunable laser. Core-tech makes a second generation tunable laser with a very high switching speed. This is a very reliable laser. The cost savings comes from less laser parts. They will manufacture this year and sell next year. I assume, without knowing, they will sell these lasers to others. This is just my interpretation of the conference. You should listen to the audio replay for yourselves.
