---------- extract from OC-192 product release from CIENA,
for those who might miss it

<"The addition of the OC-192 interface to MultiWave Sentry provides CIENA's
customers with another feature enabling future network flexibility while protecting
existing network investments,"
said Steve Chaddick, CIENA's senior vice president of products and technologies.
"The OC-192 interface offers carriers another alternative in the race to keep pace with
rapidly increasing growth in high-speed data services and new options for creating
data-centric network architectures such as IP/ATM over DWDM."

CIENA's enhanced MultiWave Sentry is suitable for service providers' long-haul, dense
route applications that require scalable capacity. This new capability makes it possible
for carriers to simultaneously mix or match up to forty-eight 10 Gb/s
(OC-192/OC-192c/STM-64) SONET or SDH channels with 2.5 Gb/s
(OC-48/OC-48c/STM-16) channels thereby protecting current network investments
while giving them increased options for bandwidth and network scalability.

MultiWave Sentry includes CIENA's open architecture and DirectConnect feature that
make it feasible for carriers to mix SONET/SDH, ATM and IP traffic on a common
optical network. This simplifies the network architecture and eliminates the additional
cost associated with an intervening synchronous layer in evolving data-centric ATM and
IP networks. The addition of the OC-192 interface will support the next generation of
high-speed routers and switches with the 10 Gb/s
interface.>

-----------------------------------

NOW pay attention to the DirectConnect feature above, this is the BIG ONE! the mkt for this will be extremely large as WAN Service Providers rush to take advantage of extra bandwidth and efficiency by directly conencting networking devices such as 12000 to the OC-192 metro. This will happen wholesale when voice is carried over the data networking model which CSCO, ASND are pushing for, and LU and the others are heading into.
