Not sponsored by MRVC, but anything that promotes CWDM has to help MRVC Dear Colleague, As an industry professional, you may be interested to know about a coming online event being presented by Light Reading (www.lightreading.com). This free Web seminar - "CWDM: Technology & Business Case Update" - will evaluate recent changes in this critical market. When Light Reading checked recently on CWDM market sentiment among service providers, we were surprised at how rapidly and widely the technology has gained support. Over 80% of our survey's respondents believe CWDM is a mature technology for the metro, and nearly as many think it will be widely deployed. An astonishing 43% see it overtaking DWDM in metro deployments. There's no doubt that the ITU-T's standardization of the new 16-wavelength CWDM grid in June 2002 has given the technology a boost and increased customers' confidence that they won't be buying into a proprietary dead-end. And the growing availability of low-water-peak fiber is underpinning 16-wavelength systems. But there's more to it than just new standards and new fiber. CWDM offers service providers capabilities that can be pretty compelling in today's tough business climate. You get extra optical capacity, wavelength services, and network flexibility, but without the high costs of traditional DWDM. This Webinar will address the following questions and more: - How will CWDM transform metro access? - What are the leading product capabilities? - How do recent developments in CWDM technology affect the business case? Join us on Wednesday, November 5, at 2:00 p.m. New York / 7:00 p.m. London time, for this live Webinar sponsored by Transmode Systems.
