upside.com Tellium in $350 million switch deal September 12, 2000 04:32 PM PT by Rex Crum "A week ago, Oceanport, N.J.-based Tellium began shipping a new version of its optical switch. Today the company announced where a lot of those switches are headed for: London. That's because Tellium inked a five-year contract to sell its Aurora Optical switches to British telecom giant Cable & Wireless (CWP). The deal is worth a minimum of $350 million and is said to be the largest contract win for a private fiber optic company.
