From Press Release(Sycamore Networks) Posted by Hiram: Their products are designed to let telecom companies directly connect frame relay and asynchronous-transfer-mode data traffic to the optical network. From DenverTechie : The digital cross connect from Tellabs and others is a completely different animal and is software controlled to cross connect at DS-1 and DS-3 levels to "groom" circuits for special services and high speed private networks. Very useful and now has capabilities to cross connect SONET in and out at the optical level (used to have to break down the signal to electrical STS, cross connect, then multiplex back up to OC levels going out). Hiram, DenverTechie or Thread, When I was reading the Sycamore Networks press release, I was thinking it sounded just a little familiar. The above may be a stupid comparison, but they sound similar. Even if they are not located in the same part of a network, do they have the same type of function? Or, am I completely off base? Thanks, MikeM(From Florida)
