Few highlights from Cerent Corporation: ------------ We are a leading provider of next-generation optical transport solutions that enable network service providers to meet the demands resulting from the rapid growth of data and voice communications traffic. We deliver an evolutionary, multi-service optical transport platform designed to dramatically lower network operating costs and increase the efficiency of bandwidth delivery within today's congested transport networks. Our high-speed solution, the Cerent 454, is designed to support any traffic interface at any transmission rate up to an aggregate of 240 gigabits per second, or Gbps, in a single, compact system. The Cerent 454 provides a cost-effective solution for our service provider customers and enables them to rapidly deploy a wide range of applications and revenue generating services. We are currently able to deliver our 454 on the customer request date, which is typically within ten days of receiving an order. As of June 30, 1999, we had shipped our 454 to 86 customers, including ALLTEL, Buckeye Telesystem, Frontier Communications, GST Telecom, Hutchinson Telephone, Nextlink, PSINet, QWest Communications, RCN Corp., Sho-Me Power Electric, TCI and Williams Communications. -------------------------------------------- Looks like Cerent approach is evolutionary not revolutionary, which is somewhat different form "Big Daddy" approach. Also when they said up to 240 Gbit/s, it implies that they do not have 240 yet, but architecture allow to do it, another word they can go only to up 240 Gbit/s in they architecture. Any comments?
