Kanata, Ontario, September 8, 1998 - Cambrian Systems Corporation, a leader in metropolitan dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) solutions, will showcase its OPTera survivable ring-based system delivering the Enterprise System Connectivity (ESCON) application at the National Fiber Optic Engineering Conference (NFOEC) to be held September 13-17 in Orlando, Florida. ESCON is utilized to interface IBM peripherals and mainframe computers running mission-critical applications in the demanding healthcare and financial industries. The extensive use of ESCON makes users cautious to change existing infrastructure as the requirement for computing resources increases. Cambrian's OPTera fully supports ESCON and significantly increases the capacity of the network, while enhancing the reliability of data transmission, further demonstrating OPTera's ability to deliver survivable transport services in carrier/enterprise applications. "The dramatic growth in data networking opens up new opportunities for carriers to make rapid delivery and new services a competitive advantage. The flexibility and scalability of OPTera allows it to easily accommodate ESCON directly onto a survivable wavelength along with other data networking protocols," said Don Smith, President and CEO of Cambrian Systems. "With OPTera shipping this year, Cambrian will deliver on the promise of DWDM and optical networking." ESCON enables large healthcare and financial institutions to optimize the use of their mainframe-based computing resources, while protecting their investments and reducing risk. The OPTera DWDM product delivers the bandwidth necessary for these types of applications and addresses the demand for greater connectivity, high reliability, network flexibility and scalability. Whether deployed by carriers or directly by enterprise network operators, OPTera's built-in ring protection switching is a cost-effective survivable solution which enables quick recovery from disasters, such as fiber cuts and power failures. In addition OPTera enables a seamless migration path to Fiber Channel, as no changes are required to OPTera to accommodate the higher speeds, thus enhancing the Fiber Channel business case. The OPTera survivable metropolitan DWDM transport system delivers 32 protected (64 unprotected) wavelengths or channels for a total capacity scalable to 80 gigabits per second over a single strand of single mode fiber. OPTera's modular, cost-effective architecture enables direct bit-rate and protocol independent transport of a broad range of signals including SONET/SDH, Gigabit Ethernet, D1 Video, fiber channel, ESCON and other signal formats up to 2.5 gigabits per second with or without optical amplifiers. OPTera networks can be deployed in survivable ring or point-to-point configurations.

NN at these prices with the turnaround nicely on its way presents a lot less risk than many other companies out there. I would be inclined to dollar cost average stock and long term calls. And just in case and fer a trading position some puts as a hedge. Let the cash flow from the puts slowly eliminate the costs of the calls. If the stock stays here +- 5 fer the next little while GRIM will be very happy. GRIM always looking fer lower risk scalping strategies.
