There may be some telco's out there that don't know these types of technologies are out there. But for many, they are quiet aware. The fact is 10G seems a lot more economically feasible right now. Maybe if 40G, OC768 WDM line cards didn't cost over a quarter million dollars each there would be more deployments of it. The rate and cost of facility upgrades are far surpassing the means to make the ROI models work. -Robert
Of course they know 40G exists, read the press releases. It is how it is implemented is the intersting thing. Instead of relpacing all of DWDM systems from 10->40G it looks like it was done to *one* window. Go run the nummbers on the follwoing models: 1. Replace 10G system to 40G + assorted new mux gear for existing circuits + 40G router card + opex 2. Remove one transponder + stratalight + 40G router card + opex 3. Existing 10G system + silly iMux 4x10G + 40G router card + opex (zero gain in system capacity) 4. Remove one transponder + 40G DWDM router card + opex (the opex on this one is huge because you start to elimiated a large number of bodies to maintain #1, #2 or #3) If you work for a telco go to your transport group and suggest #4 and listen to their bell shaped heads ring.
