Beware of the adjectives describing this product! "With this capability, Cisco becomes the only company in the world capable of delivering an end-to-end 10 gigabit--or OC-192-- Internet based optical network." Pirelli Optical Systems is the first company to ship open standards-based, 10 gigabits per second (Gbps; also known as OC-192) optical transport systems and its products represent the largest installed base of such products in the world. Pirelli does not have the largest installed base of OC-192 because Nortel has over 90% market share of OC-192. They must be referring to "open standards-based" non-SONET products. They are not the first company to ship "open standards-based, 10 giagabits per second. Nortel has deployed such a product (OPTera) between Vancouver BC and Calgary, Allberta.
