Sector...Diana would probably give you the dates and where. In the meantime did you read this, in particular where Argon was acquired by Siemans for $230 million. Look at the lower capacity than Aranea 1. >>>> Charlotte's Web continues to make progress on the Aranea 1. Their product is the next generation Terabit Switch/Router, to be deployed by carriers for Internet Backbone. Aranea 1 is well ahead of competition. It will seamlessly integrate Cell and Packet based traffic, with a rich set of Differentiated Services based on latest IETF definitions. Non blocking traffic flow starts at 128 Gbps, scaleable to multiple Terabits per second. Packet forwarding starts at 200 million packets per second. Competitive analysis shows Aranea favorably competing on processing speed and offering the highest port density per rack space. For example 256 Gigabit Ethernet or 64 ports of OC-48 can be supported in a single 19'' rack. To give you some sense of comparison, Charlottes'fabric capacity is 128 Gbps, versus 100 for Avici, 64 for Lucent, 40 for Juniper Networks, and 20 for Argon (which was recently acquired by Siemens for $230 million). Charlotte plans to exhibit Aranea 1 for the first time at the SuperComm show, the Telecom industry's most prominent annual event, June 7th through June 10th.<<<< Benny
