correction: Not necessarily .. although Cienna has equipment that runs closer to the edge than anything CORV has, currently, they have core technology. What they don't have is an o-o-o switch. Conversely, CORV does not have an o-e-o switch (although they are scheduled to release one in the second half... which will push them a bit further toward the edge) "JNPR said that all optical was a pipe dream a week later BRW introduces ... all optical .. etc" JNPR was referring to an all optical solution. The ability to interpret packet data in optical format i.e. optical routers. This has not been achieved and will not be achieved for a very long time .. if ever This tech goes beyond the current theories being utilized in the realm of microphotonics. All optical processors ... yes .. at this point is, indeed, a pipe dream (we would need a major breakthrough in physics)... . Although there have been some interesting developments in opto-electric chips.. this is still not the same thing.

"this will eventually be rectified when the next customers have completed their trials and are ready to put some ink on paper, : Crusader do you have a list of who is currently doing field tests using CORV technology? I have yet to read one press release where anyone besides the 3 existing customers is doing any type of testing. Any info on this would be great. Thank you.

<sorry about those getting hurt during the makrket downtrun but, that's the nature of the beast they take no prisoners and reward only the stalworthy. that's all I have to say about that. try and remember those less fortunate than ourselves.> that is always excellent advice--those less fortunate than we on these boards number close to or more than 5 billion people i would say.P.S. a CORV remark,however,the company's secrecy is hurting it,their silence let's say is NOT golden,imo.
