<<Pirelli will use its T-31 OMDS 1632 system in concert with Ascend's GX 550 "Smart" Core ATM switches and will transmit traffic simultaneously over a single optical fiber in five variations of bit rate: OC-3, OC-12 and OC-48 over ATM and OC-12 and OC-48 over SONET. .........................................................................."Because the GX 550 has built-in SONET and Digital Cross-Connect System (DCS) functionality and redundancy, directly connecting it to fiber or DWDM equipment greatly simplifies service provider networks by preserving SONET and DCS functionality while eliminating the need for an entire layer of traditional networking hardware." >> You have to love these press releases. They really must be driving CSCO, LU, Tellabs, et al, absolutely crazy. I love you Mory, keep up the good work. jww
