Hi Sector, I'm not sure on this,but does their reference to coplanar mean there is no chance of active fiber being implemented?? Just hoping that 30-40 % growth gets bumped up with some of the new projects. Bob P.S. pretty rough crowd over on Yahoo - don't know how you stand the abusive games played.

Bob, I posted the specs on JDSU's modulator. Compare them to KVH's preliminary specs from last year. jdsu.com JDSU has higher insertion loss of 5.5db to KVH's 4db (lower loss is better) JDSU has lower extinction ratio of 20db to KVH's 23db (higher is better - both are ggod numbers though) JDSU has lower S21 bandwidth of 30GHz to KVH's 50GHz (obviously higher is better) JDSU drive voltage is 6V DC to KVH's 3V DC The voltage may be the most important difference, but taken together, KVH's modulator is much more attractive. KVH's should also sell for less (lower costs anyway).
