Mila- I heard about the error free transmission about a week and a half ago. I heard a couple versions from 2 somewhat indirect sources. The first I heard was that an evaluator sent 1 trillion bits of data error free and the other story sent 100 trillion bits of data error free.
Well , if the Gigamux can send 40 Gigabytes per second and there are 8 bits per byte, then a 1 trillion bit information transfrer would be a 3.125 second error free test.
1,000,000,000,000/8/40,000,000,000 = 3.125 seconds
Now, if it was a 100 trillion bit data transfer test, then it would have taken 5 inutes and 20 seconds.
100,000,000,000,000/ 8/40,000,000,000 = 312.5 seconds or 5 minutes and 20 seconds
Both those tests imply that the Gigamux was opperating optimally and at full 16 channel capacity. I would think an evaluator would run it through the most rigorous test, which would lead to the latter test I described. But to send that much data error free is still phenominal!!! Typically, when you send a huge amount of data, there are bits that get squweezed or screwed up somehow in the transmission. If the gigamux is this accurate, then I can certainly see why Xin was so confident about his product being superior to the competition on the conference call. I need to clarify how many bits were actually sent error free right from the source.
Speaking of the competition, I listened to CIEN's conference call last week. It seems that their competing Metro DWDM product that was slated to be released within the next couple months, won't be commercially available until the second half of next year. What a shame :)
I think some of you are finally starting to see why I'm so bullish on this stock, and those people are the ones who seem to be doing the digging.
For those of you who went to the meeting, thanks for the scoup! |
