Second Day of J.P. Morgan's Communications Equipment Conference highlights included the following.. >>Charlie Willhoit, J.P. Morgan's Communications Components Equity Research analyst said, ``It is very clear to us that demand for optical components and systems is extremely strong.' Morgan's Communications Systems analyst Greg Geiling noted that several components and systems makers expect the Metro DWDM market to take off in the latter part of 2000. ``This market will ramp significantly in 2001,' said Geiling. Both analysts noted that the trend among systems makers to outsource more components is gaining momentum.<< And: >>CIENA continues to gain traction with diversification of its product portfolio, with products from long haul DWDM to optical switches to Metro DWDM systems shipping to customers. The company is currently limiting trials of its CoreDirector optical switch to six carriers and expects to expand that in the April/May time frame. CIENA is also making progress with efforts to expand its customer base and now has products installed in 31 networks worldwide.<< More at: biz.yahoo.com
