I thought Ciena's Multiwave Core Stream was capable of 2 terabits/sec per fibre. Is that just a future capability or are they shipping presently?
From CIena's product literature. "MultiWave CoreStream? is an advanced DWDM optical transport system with capacity of 2 Terabits/second over a single fiber. The system is designed for global long haul carriers who require scalable capacity, design flexibility and high reliability. CoreStream has an open architecture, enabling carriers to transport all types of traffic including voice, video and data. "
What is Ciena's current product slate (currently shipping)for long haul and metro?
In addition to the Multiwave Core Stream System, they have
CIENA MultiWave Sentry? 4000
The MultiWave Sentry? 4000, a DWDM optical transport system that delivers throughput of up to 100 Gb/s, is ideally suited for long haul, dense route applications that require scalable capacity. This system's open architecture enables carriers to mix SONET/SDH, ATM and Fast IP traffic on a common optical network while eliminating the intervening TDM layer on builds of ATM and FAST IP networks.
CIENA MultiWave Sentry? 1600
MultiWave Sentry? 1600 DWDM optical transport system that delivers throughput up to 40 Gb/s. This system enables carriers to mix SONET/SDH, ATM, Fast IP, and asynchronous traffic on a common optical network. In addition to providing the highest performance optical transport layer available for traditional SONET/SDH-based networks, Sentry enables the construction of ATM and Fast IP networks without an intervening synchronous layer.

The trade show next week should be interesting for the sector.
"Ciena will feature at SuperComm 2000 its newest products, LightWorks ON-Center? Management Suite and MultiWave CoreDirector? CI intelligent optical core switch."
