As I understand it, Chromatis also incorporates something called Selective WDM which limits the costs of bringing DWDM to sites that don't need it.This is big, no one else has it. Also, their multiprotocol functions within wavelengths. Most boxes require a separate wavelength per protocol (TDM, IP, ATM). STS1 to STS12 granularity, capacities are unmatched, etc. I think Dan Smith is being a spoiler here... The Chromatis Metropolosomething 2000/4000 series boxes hit Sycamore where they live.

Ignitus is a much smaller scale box with no need for DWDM. If a CLEC can't decide between bringing optics to every site via a WaveStar or managing bandwidth via ATM and a PSAX product... Voila! You get both interfaces in an Ignitus box....
