Furukawa Electric's Plans to Compete with JDS Uniphase Hum Along By Kaya Laterman <mailto:klaterman@thestreet.com> Japan Correspondent 7/12/00 10:45 AM ET thestreet.com ******************** "Toru Nagai, a Morgan Stanley Dean Witter analyst, maintained his outperform rating on Furukawa even after the JDSU-SDL news. He says Furukawa will continue to see a solid rise in earnings over the next few years as the company develops and rolls out more of its wave division multiplexing technology. Furukawa already has a 60% global share of all WDM-related products, which allow a single strand of fiber-optic cable to carry multiple signals.** WDM is a great development for the common Internet user, helping create a twenty-fold rise in data-carrying capacity in just four years, according to industry estimates. Of course, there is plenty of competition to Furukawa's primacy. Lucent Technologies (LU ), Nortel Networks (NT ) and four other firms are all fighting for a piece of Furukawa's pie. And new technology could come along that would render WDM obsolete. "
