<<On the other side it TCOMA which is installing MetroDWDM in 14 cities,100 communities for local access,that is being provided by HLIT(Rah Rah!!).>>
Tim, on the other side too is MRVC, who is adding DWDM and Optical Internetworking capabilities to a full line of leading edge Networking Products, and they are developing a carrier class Terabit router to go with it.
Their DWDM is only at 4 wavelengths now, moving to 8 before the end of the year, which is quite adequate for now on the enterprise LAN side of the market (who else has even that much available this quarter?).
They also are eyeing the carrier market, which will require higher DWDM levels, but they have an excellent R&D staff and I think their DWDM levels will increase fast.
They also are the only company with a DYNAMIC DWDM product offering, I believe, and they are advertising Gigabit Ethernet at over 150 miles, using their DWDM, with OC-48 and OC-198 direct interfaces to their switches, early in 1999.
They also have fiber optic products for the Cable and FTTC industries too. I think they are well positioned for the future.
For more information see their recent DWDM announcement, below or their White papers at nbase.com
