Broadwing Communications Transmits OC-192c Signals 4,000 km Without
Electrical Regeneration Using Corvis Equipment

Carrier transmits 10 Gigabit signals over longest terrestrial distance to date using Corvis all-optical
networking technology

COLUMBIA, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 21, 2000-- Corvis Corporation (NASDAQ: CORV - news), a leader in delivering the intelligent all-optical
networking solution, announced today that Broadwing Communications, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Broadwing Inc. (NYSE: BRW - news), has successfully
completed a field trial of Corvis` 10 Gigabit per second product over a 4,000-km section of Broadwing`s nationwide network without electrical regeneration.

``Broadwing is setting a standard as the next-generation, high speed, high capacity, all-optical network carrier,`` said Dr. David Huber, President and CEO of
Corvis. ``With the successful field trial of our OC-192 (c) product and the deployment of our integrated all-optical networking solution, Broadwing has validated our
vision of creating all-optical networks capable of providing advanced broadband applications and services and bandwidth on demand - today.``

The Broadwing field trial used Corvis` OC-192 (c) product which supports both OC192c, necessary to provide next generation 10 Gigabit IP-based services to
customers and OC-192, which supports lower bit rate SONET/SDH services.

Broadwing conducted the field trial of Corvis` OC192 (c) product on a 4,000-km section of its network transmitting OC-192c signals from Phoenix to Fort Worth
and back to Phoenix without electrical regeneration. The OC-192c field trial represents the longest terrestrial transmission distance in the field to date without any
electrical regeneration of the optical signals. The elimination of electrical regeneration will allow Broadwing to increase the performance and reliability of their
network, while significantly reducing capital and operating costs.

``Broadwing is once again, leading the industry by delivering on its promise to provide customers with the most advanced data and Internet solutions available
today,`` said Rick Ellenberger, president and CEO of Broadwing. ``Corvis` OC-192(c) all-optical network solutions provide the flexible, high speed, ultra-long reach
capability required for Broadwing next-generation broadband network.``

The Corvis CorWave product suite offers the industry`s first end-to-end all-optical network solution that provides high-capacity, all-optical switching and
ultra-long-distance transport with integrated network management required for next-generation, terabit Internet Protocol (IP) networks. CorWave products allow
service providers to transmit signals entirely in the optical domain, which results in higher performance and reliability for carriers, while significantly reducing capital
and operational cost of building and operating the network. Corvis` integrated all-optical network solution supports both 2.5 and 10 Gigabit per second transmission.
