For now, Ciena and Lucent are the only games in town. Other players like Northern Telecom Ltd. and Pirelli SpA are at least one year behind, analysts say. I would have swapped NT and LU. I think CIEN & NT are the ones to catch and LU is falling behind.

Hi Craig, Who are those analysts? Please check MCI has Nortel's 80Gb DWDM running in live service ( not field trial) and Nortel also has 160Gb/s demo in NFOEC this year. Ciena only has 40Gb/s running commercially and offers 100Gb/s. It is still short of 160Gb/s offered by Nortel. Regards, CJ <<-For now, Ciena and Lucent are the only games in town.
