Nexabit is cool to the core By Peter D. Henig Red Herring Online April 30, 1999 ...Although Nexabit won't reveal which carriers are testing the terabit boxes, sources confirm that AT&T (NYSE: T) and Frontier Communications (NYSE: FRO) have expressed interest, and Qwest Communications (Nasdaq: QWST) is on deck for trials in the future... .. Citing forecasts from San Francisco research firm RHK that the core switch and router market will reach $5.4 billion by 2003, Mr. Chatter argues that "the one who's going to win this war is the one who will have core optical technology, core ATM technology, and core IP technology ... and the capability to integrate all of it." Mr. Chatter asserts that Cisco's next-generation routers are 32 times slower than Nexabit's current product and that Cisco only has the IP leg of the core technology tripod. He is convinced that healthy partnerships with the likes of Lucent, a company that has both multiplexer optics and ATM switches, could create a single dominant player at the core of the network. "There's definitely a need for a partnership among the players who do IP routing, ATM switches, and optical technology," says Mr. Chatter. "The one who will do that will rule the world." ... redherring.com
