Ah, so it's actually 4 different wavelengths within the ITU-grid 
alottment of one single 10G wave?

How does the fact that you need to amplify four times the photons in the 
same wavelength space affect things? Just needs to be taken into 
consideration when calculating the amount/number of 
amplification/amplifiers?

Is this something in production or alpha/beta test with the DWDM 
manufacturer?
