Ken/TP,

From the article you gave a link to:

Nexabit Networks, which was acquired by Lucent Technologies Inc. lucent.com last year, is also rumored to have products in production.

Both these new players' products offer almost twice as many OC-12 and OC-48 orts as the NetIron 1500. As for OC-192 interfaces---Foundry won't be offering those until sometime later this year. This may be too late since Juniper already is shipping up to 8 OC-192's per M160, and Avici and Nexabit offer 15 and 16 OC-192 ports respectively on their device.

One other issue is that the NetIron 1500's first release will not offer MPLS, something that many service providers want for its traffic engineering and VPN capabilities.

What are the shortcomings of the Nexabit product?
