Top Stories: Sprint Deal Sends Ciena Stock Soaring thestreet.com (an excerpt) Now some experts say Ciena might strike an alliance with leading data networker Cisco (CSCO:Nasdaq). "Our understanding is that Ciena has been in discussions with Cisco for some time now," says analyst William Magill with NationsBanc Montgomery Securities. "We have no real insight into the nature or formality of these talks," although it might be a natural evolution for Cisco to couple DWDM technology with its data products for wide-area networks. "We've been talking with quite a number of vendors," says a Ciena spokesman. He declined to comment further. A Cisco official declined comment, although he said the company is studying various future technologies that include DWDM.
