1. If 10GE is not redefined and remains uneconomical at 300 meters, then 40GE solutions will be considered high value and can cannibalize the 10GE market. 40GE will fill the bandwidth gap in large data centers and drive bandwidth to the 100GE core. 2. If...

•Because it is here at the physical layer and can be here sooner than 100G •Because it fits the needs of the customer better than a 10X jump – Most cost conscience customers can’t afford to come to these meetings and ask for 40GE! •...

PARIS — Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) has been selected by Azteca Comunicaciones Colombia, a leading communications services provider in Colombia, as a major supplier for the deployment of a nationwide broadband network that will connect 753 municipalities across the country. This network will...

• Sooner than 100GE because of the physical layer – 40 Gig OC-192 PHY available today – 40 Gig QSFPs coming this year for multimode applications – 40 Gig QSFP short reach (2km) singlemode possibly in 2008 – 4X10 Gig X40s for multimode and singlemode...

• We need a 40G MAC/Ethernet to reach a larger market that is underserved by expensive 10GE products and overserved by 100GE products. – Factors of 10 jumps do not fit as many applications as incremental changes • One Size Fits All – fits very...

•Optimizing R&D effort is definitely a good thing – Did we learn anything from 10GE? • Should we have a transceiver MSA before the standard is complete? • Are the components cost-effective and manufacturable? – 40GE doesn’t need to double R&D Effort but new chips...

If we continue talking about 40GE, it will delay 100 GE Agreeing to add 40GE instead of endlessly debating will lead to faster standards completion. The better question is will 40GE delay the standard significantly or even measurably. Sun showed that there is minimal effort...

• Same as 100GE – Must skip the 10GE PMDs designed for OM1 Fiber (LRM) Another question is what transceivers are being standardized? • For multimode applications, the QSFP should work fine, is complete and is in preproduction at 20Gig (4 X 5G / lane)...

• United Airlines and IBM •Brocade is an end user and we would like to use 40GE links between switches and to LANs to create File Area Networks (FAN) • Most 40 GE customers are more cost conscience than 100GE users and can’t afford to...

• Not the same if 40Gbase-SR4 is defined to go 100 meters while 10GBase-SR must traverse 300 m – Estimates are 10-50% less cost at 100 meters Cost isn’t everything. Users will buy 40GE over 4x10GE because of: • Ease of Management – it’s one...
