I remember before last q's results that Richard Woo from Thompson Kernigan in Toronto was recommending NN. After the results, he was extremely P'd off at NN for not giving reliable guidance about sales and inventories. He said he wouldn't comment about them for some time. This was from a Newsworld Business News report. He seems to be a very good Analyst and I wish there was some way of getting more info from him other that switching accounts to T.K. Anyone know him? Tom A. Anyone follow PP's web site, he's recommending great caution this week securitytrader.com

Cruncher -- First, an article found on another thread that gives strength to our hypothesis we'll see good news out of InterOp. I'd already circled the WDM demo on my InterOp schedule but didn't know Cambrian was involved. Also, NN presents at the H&Q conference this Wednesday, April 29, at 7:30 a.m., PDT. <<< Gigabit LANs to span miles of fiber By Stephen Lawson InfoWorld Electric Posted at 4:00 PM PT, Apr 24, 1998 A technology to be demonstrated at NetWorld+Interop in Las Vegas in May could make it feasible for enterprises to set up Gigabit Ethernet LANs across metropolitan area networks. Bay Networks, 3Com, and Packet Engines will join with Cambrian Systems, a maker of wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) equipment, to demonstrate Gigabit Ethernet transmitted directly via the efficient optical networking technology. With WDM, data is transmitted in multiple wavelengths of light, so optical fiber can be used efficiently and the cost of bandwidth to each user sharing the fiber is reduced. The networking companies will connect Gigabit Ethernet interfaces from LAN routing switches into Cambrian's Optera Wavelength Division Multiplexing platform to show the viability of high-speed LAN connectivity across a metropolitan area at a reasonable cost. Bay will link a Gigabit Ethernet interface on its Accelar 1200 routing switch to the Cambrian hardware. Company officials said this approach would not require any conversion of the Ethernet traffic between one enterprise site and another location across the metropolitan area. A LAN could be extended over a service provider's fiber network or over leased fiber, Bay officials said. "The services you could offer over a metropolitan area would be the same ones you could use on the enterprise itself," said Richard Pierce, director of business development at Bay's Internet and Telecom Business Unit. Cisco this week announced a partnership with Ciena to develop carrier-class solutions that combine Cisco's routers and switches with WDM equipment from Ciena, using synchronous optical network technology. Pierce said that Bay and Cambrian's solution would be simpler for most enterprises because it can use standard Ethernet packets without introducing another technology. According to Cambrian officials Bay, 3Com, and Packet Engines have not established partnerships with Cambrian beyond the joint demonstration.

The first deployment of this capability within the Siemens / Newbridge MainStreetXpressT product line will be on the industry-leading MainStreetXpress 36170 Multiservices Switch. >>> Notice, too, that Cambrian's earned Data Communications Magazine's Hot Product" award: newbridge.com <<<Cambrian's OPTeraT (Optical Protocol Independent Transport Era) photonic networking product received honors in the Wide Area Network category. Delivering 32 protocol and bit rate independent wavelengths, each providing up to 2.5 Gbit/s of bandwidth, OPTera 80 is scalable to 80 Gbit/s and supports OC-3, -12, -48, 100BT and native Gigabit Ethernet. In contrast to other dense wavelength division multiplexing solutions, OPTera can be deployed in configurations that include ring, mesh or point-to-point, providing simple provisioning, protection switching for survivability and comprehensive management. >>>> Later -- Pat
