In Thread: Corvis mit neuem Produkt branchenführend hat Wja mal richtig schnell mit richtigen Datum eine brandheiße News veröffentlicht. Hier noch der Rest der Original-Meldung für die technisch Interessierten:

Das mit der Solitonen-Verstärkung wurde ja schon gemunkelt (siehe Thread: Corvis Unveils New Class of Next Generation Optical Transport Products), jetzt ist es offiziell. Corvis sind die Ersten, die es geschafft haben. Es war doch gut, Dave Huber zu vertrauen, dass er etwas besonderes in der Hinterhand hat. Jetzt wird auch sofort die Verschwiegenheitpolitik von Corvis klar. Für mich gab es nur die Erklärung, dass man keinerlei Infos an die Wettbewerber dringen lassen durfte. Mal sehn, wie lange es dauert, bis sich die ersten Interessenten (Kunden) melden.

For Immediate Release


Corvis Announces Industry-Leading 3.2 Terabits Per Second Optical Transport System

CorWave LR Offers Unprecedented Capacity and Reach
To Address Service Providers’ Backbone Needs


ANAHEIM, CA (March 19, 2001)Corvis Corporation (NASDAQ: CORV), the only company delivering intelligent all-optical networking solutions, today announced CorWave LR, the newest addition to its CorWave product family. The Corvis CorWave LR system delivers up to 3.2 terabits per second capacity, representing the industry’s highest capacity transport system. The CorWave LR can be deployed in service providers’ existing networks to meet the rapidly increasing demand for bandwidth and to provide a high capacity complement to service providers’ all-optical network transport layers.

CorWave LR is a dense-wavelength-division-multiplexing (DWDM) transmission system that can transport up to 320 OC-192 (10 Gbps) wavelengths for up to 800 km or 160 OC-192 (10 Gbps) wavelengths in each direction for up to 2,000 km. The CorWave LR is an ideal DWDM solution to carry Internet, voice, data and video traffic between large population centers, such as between Paris and Frankfurt or Atlanta and New York.

“Corvis is building on its leadership position in optical networking by offering the industry’s highest capacity DWDM transport system,” said Dr. David Huber, President and CEO of Corvis. “With CorWave LR, Corvis enhances its comprehensive optical networking portfolio, which is dramatically changing the economic model for service providers.”

The CorWave LR integrates soliton transmission and Raman amplification technologies to achieve industry-leading performance on all major fiber types, including SMF, LEAF, LS and TrueWave. A soliton is a special waveform that is capable of traversing very long distances. Raman amplification technology enables solitons to be amplified by a service provider’s fiber during transmission through their network.

As Internet traffic continues to grow exponentially, service providers are under tremendous pressure to scale their networks. Corvis CorWave LR offers the highest spectral efficiency solution, using both the C- and L-bands, to provide high capacity transport over long distances without the use of electronic regeneration. By integrating soliton transmission and Raman amplification technology, Corvis provides significant cost advantages to service providers, while improving the economics and reliability of their networks.



“Terabit capacity transport is critical for scaling backbone networks to meet the demand of broadband Internet,” said Jean-Jacques Damlamian, executive vice president, France Telecom. “We see a need for cost-effective bandwidth to build the next generation Internet backbone.”

CorWave LR is the first product resulting from Corvis’ acquisition of Algety Telecom, based in Lannion, France, which was completed in July, 2000. The product will be commercially available during the second half of 2001. The CorWave LR technology was used by Algety, prior to its acquisition, to demonstrate 40 Gbps (OC-768) capacity per wavelength transmission.

“By providing 1.6 terabits in the C-band alone, with an additional 1.6 terabits in the L-band, Corvis’ CorWave LR has two-to-four times the capacity of any optical transport product on the market today,” said Chris Nicoll, vice president, Current Analysis. “Service providers need capacity and scalability, without having to rebuild their networks every 18 months. Optical transmission gear needs to have a 4-6 year life cycle, and Corvis is showing service providers how to do that, today.”

Comprehensive Multi-Terabit Product Family
Corvis is making the promise of high performance, next generation optical networks a reality by delivering integrated all-optical switching and transport network solutions, the highest speed and capacity DWDM transport systems, and repeaterless terrestrial and undersea festoon systems with integrated network and service management. Corvis’ CorWave product suite encompasses three main product lines targeted at making service providers more competitive across their backbone networks:

CorWave ON Integrated, scalable all-optical networking solutions, which include the Corvis Optical Network Gateway, Optical Amplifiers, Optical Add/Drop Multiplexers and All-Optical Switches. All these products are commercially available and have been deployed in the world’s first all-optical network.

CorWave LR Ultra-high capacity DWDM transport systems offering 3.2 terabits per second transport in the C- and L- bands. CorWave LR integrates Raman and soliton technologies to provide industry-leading performance.

CorWave XL and CorWave XF Repeaterless terrestrial or undersea festoon links used to build, expand and link national and regional networks. CorWave XL and XF can transmit up to 800 gigabits per fiber for distances as long as 350 km, eliminating the use of in-line amplifiers.

Corvis’ optical networking solutions are designed to significantly reduce network costs, and enable network service providers to offer advanced wavelength services to their customers at dramatically lower costs. Service providers can leverage the benefits of optical networks to rapidly provision new services such as wavelength on demand, optical protection and restoration, and dynamic service level agreements.

Damit ist übrigens der Rekord von Siemens` Erwerbung Optisphere (siehe Thread: Corvis Unveils New Class of Next Generation Optical Transport Products) über 3,2 Tbps kein Rekord mehr. Optisphere kommt so schnell ja wohl nur 250 km weit ohne Regeneration und muss alle 80 km verstärken.

Corvis schafft dagegen mit 800 km Regeneratorfeldlänge mehr als das Dreifache. Auch Corvis überträgt jeweils 160 Lambdas à 10 Gbps (OC-192/STM-64) in beiden DWDM-üblichen optischen Fenstern (um 1550 und 1625 nm).

Bei nur 1,6 Tbps mit jeweils 80 Lambdas à 10 Gbps in C- und L-Band kommt Corvis sogar bis zu 2000 km.

Was Optisphere leider nicht spezifiziert hat, sind die verwendbaren Fasertypen. Corvis weist eindeutig auf SMF, LEAF, LS und TrueWave (Corning, Lucent) hin sowie allgemein alle anderen nicht-, nicht-Null oder ganz-dispersionsverschobenen Glasfasern (NDSF, NZDSF, DSF), sozusagen alles, was heute in der Erde (oder unter Wasser) noch Licht transportieren kann.

Damit hat Corvis rechtzeitig zur Optical Fiber Conference 2001 in Anaheim einen Joker aus dem Ärmel gezogen.

Und siehe da, Corvis ist vorbörslich mal wieder in den Top 20 auf Island: Platz 11 mit +2%. Bald sind die 10$ wieder dran.

Lieber Optician,

ich gucke immer `mal wieder hier rein. Bist `ne treue Corvis Seele. Ich habe leider kalte Füße bekommen (bei 14€). Ich behalte diesen Wert im Auge und stehe auf dem Sprung. Z.Z. sieht es nicht gut aus. Hängt auch mit den Telco`s zusammen die nicht im erforderlichen Maße investieren. Ist eben ein großer Geldkreislauf, der im Moment stagniert. Das Tal der Tränen wird hoffentlich nicht so lange dauern, wie es einige befürchten (L Formation der Wirtschaft und Börse).

Na, jedenfalls wünsche ich Dir dass, a la lonque, Corvis in den Himmel läuft.

Grüße

Morning,

wer kann mir das nochmal erklären, dass man sich keine Gedanken machen muß wenn Senior Vice Präsident etc. und vor allem David Huber ihre Papiere auf den Markt werfen?

Manche wissen wann die Party vorbei ist. Andere merken es erst,
wenn das Licht schon aus ist.

[Optician]

Eine Party erwarte ich auch so schnell nicht mehr, bei keinem Wert momentan. Auch die Sache mit dem "L" ist ja nicht ganz von der Hand zu weisen. Fakt ist, dass Dave Huber und Anne Stuart im Februar Aktien in mehreren Paketen verkauft haben. Aber vorher konnten sie das gar nicht. Die Anzahl finde ich nicht übermäßig groß angesichts des Anteils, den die beiden an Corvis haben. Daraus negative Indizien zu lesen, ist Ansichtssache. Ich messe dem keine allzugroße Bedeutung bei. Im Yahoo-Board wurde darüber ja auch ausgibig diskutiert. Entscheidend sind die Produkte und - daran wird man sie messen - die Kunden, welche die Produkte kaufen.

Corvis könnte man z.Z. in die Kategorie stecken: excelente Produkte zur falschen Zeit. Aber ich sehe es als Durststrecke und hoffe, die Zeit zu überstehen. Da aber auch andere Unternehmen, selbst die unmittelbare Konkurrenz genauso schlecht dastehen, ist nicht anzunehmen, dass Corvis samt Geld plötzlich verschwunden ist. Ich denke nicht, dass die Aktienverkäufe im Februar signalisieren sollten, die Chefs bringen ihre Schäfchen ins trockene.

Mal sehn, ob der positive Trend von gestern heute weitergeht. "U" ode gar "V" sind ja immerhin noch nicht ganz von der Hand zu weisen.

Die Party hat zwar noch nicht wieder angefangen und es wird sicher noch eine Weile so bleiben, aber Corvis tappt nicht allein im vermeintlichen Dunkeln. Auch andere namhafte Hersteller wagen sich auf ein Gebiet, welches ja schon für tot erklärt worden ist. Diesmal hat Fujitsu wohl einen neuen Rekord aufgestellt. Sicher nichts positives für Corvis, aber eine interessante Meldung, die in diesen Thread passt. Corvis steht also nicht allein auf verlorenem Posten.


Die Meldung kam über Golem:
>>>>
Fujitsu: 2,4 Terabits pro Sekunde über 7400 km Glasfaser

Wavelength-Division-Multiplexed- (WDM-)Technologie erfolgreich demonstriert

Fujitsus Forschungsabteilung, Fujitsu Laboratories, hat erfolgreich Daten mit 2,4 Terabit/s über 7400 km Glasfaserleitung verschickt und dabei einen Wellenbereich zwischen 1536 nm und 1610 nm genutzt. Die dahinter steckende Wavelength-Division-Multiplexed-(WDM-)Technologie könnte in Zukunft in Transatlantik-Leitungen genutzt werden, die etwa 6500 km lang sind.

Die Technologie ermöglicht es, ein Signal von 10 Gigabit/s in einem Glasfaserkabel gebündelt über 240 Kanäle zu senden und somit eine Bandbreite von 2,4 Terabit/s zu erreichen. Auf Grund von Fujitsus neuer "Raman Amplifier Technology" sollen WDM-Signale mit einer dauerhaften, einzelnen Bandbreite von 74 nm so verstärkt werden können, dass weitere technische Entwicklungen die Repeater-Konfiguration vereinfachen, optisches Rauschen verringern, die Leistung verbessern und die Kosten für die neue Glasfaserübertragungstechnologie reduzieren werden.

Fujitsu hat die Technologie kürzlich in Amsterdam, auf der 27sten European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC`2001), vorgestellt.

Für die "Insider" sehr interessant ist nicht die allg. Meldung sondern das Original:http://pr.fujitsu.com/en/news/2001/10/24-1.html

Sicher gibt es auch bald was bei LR, wenn die Jungs aufgewacht sind.
