What about LCI and QWST announcement of their ASND ATM switch deployment back in april. Are they using just for Data networks or just for the Core. What do you think about them linking the GX550 directly to DWDM like Williams cos, recent announcement at Supercomm. Hi bindusagar, LCI and QWST are using Ascend's ATM switch to offer ATM and FR services only. IP services (including VoIP) will go directly over SONET, and will not use the Ascend switch. I think the GX550/DWDM announcement makes perfect sense for Ascend. If it works, then Ascend will have singlehandedly extended the lifetime of ATM as a practical technology. Ironically, they are also threatening one of Lucent's biggest and most profitable revenue products (SONET). bucky89
