Corvis lebt, es gibt mal wieder eine Meldung von ihnen. Und ehrenhalber will ich sie posten. Sie hat Corvis bisher nicht geholfen. Die Gewinnwarnung von Corning hat ja gestern die Techs und alles was nach Kommunikation riecht, wieder in den Keller geschickt. Und JDSU wird es sicher genauso tun und der Rest auch.

EPIK COMMUNICATIONSSM AND CORVIS AGREE TO FIELD TRIAL OF
INDUSTRY’S FIRST MULTIBAND SWITCH


CorWave OCS Field Trial Marks First Step to Commercial Deployment of Next-Generation Switching Technology

COLUMBIA, MD and ORLANDO, FL—July 10, 2001—Corvis Corporation (NASDAQ: CORV), a leading provider of intelligent optical networking solutions, and EPIK Communications Incorporated (EPIK), the telecommunications subsidiary of Florida East Coast Industries, Inc. (NYSE: FLA, FLA.b) (FECI), today announced that the companies have signed a field trial agreement under which EPIK would become the first customer of the CorWave Optical Convergence Switch (OCS), the industry’s first multiband networking product. After successful completion of the field trial, scheduled to start later this year, EPIK intends to deploy the CorWave OCS at major metro aggregation points in its network. The terms of the deployment are expected to be finalized during the third quarter of this year.

“After evaluating competitive products, EPIK selected to field test the Corvis CorWave OCS because it best enables us to serve the needs of our diverse customer base. We have customers with SONET services at lower OC speeds, as well as customers with OC-192 optical waves. Corvis has the only product available today that combines electrical grooming for SONET termination and optical switching in a single platform,” said John D. McClellan, president of EPIK Communications. “Corvis will allow us to deliver new bandwidth services and applications to our customers, driving baseline revenues while reducing our operational expenditures. We look forward to completing this field trial and developing our relationship with Corvis.”

“The CorWave OCS is a natural extension of Corvis’ vision of optical networking,” said Dr. David R. Huber, president and CEO of Corvis. “We are pleased to have EPIK Communications as our first OCS field trial customer. EPIK has identified technologies required to provide their carrier customers with next-generation telecommunications services and Corvis is proud to partner with EPIK’s industry-leading management team to bring these technologies to market.”

As EPIK expands its metropolitan network service area with the deployment of additional dense wave division multiplexing (DWDM) rings, the CorWave OCS product will allow it to manage traffic intelligently at both the wavelength and sub-wavelength level. Metropolitan area networks consist of many DWDM rings, which can now be interconnected by a common, heterogeneous platform with inherent electrical and optical wavelength switching capabilities.

“By utilizing Corvis’ OCS in the metro network, EPIK ensures rapid provisioning, reliability, and survivability for our carrier customers,” said Ken Stauffer, director of product innovation at EPIK Communications. “The OCS product will allow EPIK to migrate its traffic from SONET rings to a more intelligent mesh architecture that more closely resembles the natural traffic patterns for data in our network.”

The CorWave OCS, which Corvis introduced in June 2001, allows carriers to integrate existing voice-based access, metro, regional and national networks as well as all-optical express networks onto a single network element. It incorporates electrical and optical switching on a single platform, and enables seamless network management across multiple network topologies, such as point-to-point, ring and mesh architectures.

The CorWave OCS is part of Corvis’ CorWave product family of optical networking solutions, which enable network service providers to offer advanced wavelength services to their customers at competitive prices.

Einen hab ich noch, wieder mal was Nettes von Lightreading. Aus dem CORV Forum von Sparxe :

Compliments and thanks for that excellent string. You all have imparted some excellent rationale for staying committed to CORV. The Power Point even cheered me up about AVCI ...

So where are we? I think the new wave Optical has about hit bottom. Today Corning backed off on the fiber biz. Dr Huber and Matt Bross spoke up in time. Even the Analysts are are saying not too many more optical plays will get funding.
Personally from the investor side, it seems like a market bottom will be hit soon. (one more tremor may be felt during earning season.)

However, with AT&T and Cabletron suddenly dueling for cable capacity.(see my earlier posts, I predicted it) and the Optical player`s like Trellis and Corning are capitulating. Several poorly concieved and run ClEC Telcos are on their balls.(who the hell needs a band-aid called DSL)
It appears that the cream may begin to rise to the top. Like our man Dennis(Mambo time)Hopper says... these Networks are freakin unreal. Even an idiot Cable or Telecom Exec can see that. If you run a CORV Network.... you will need far fewer headends to distribute programming source, PLUS you get a free phone company thrown in. I predict that the telecom, cable and satellite groups will soon feel that only 400G Systems are good enough to invest in.

I like it at the bottom.

Like a baby boomer on TV said last week to show up a younger know-it-all .... He said "I got my MicroSoft for 6 bucks a share" the would-be broker...shut right up..

Hope we all can say the same...

Jetzt eindecken und abwarten oder sollte man das Feuer scheuen?

@Optician
Ist wohl etwas einsam im Board-oder??
Bei einem kleinen Sturm verkrümeln sich alle Plauderer sehr schnell....
Eindecken -noch mehr-halte ich für nicht notwendig wenn man so 1000 Stück im Depot als Beimischung hat.
Bei Corvis ist es so wie mit COVAD COM.und anderen.
Einige werden es schaffen-andere.....
Abgerechnet wird wie im richtigen Leben am Schluss-also in 2-3 Jahren.
Auf dié Kaufkurse.

@laab

Mit dem Eindecken ist es gut und schön, wenn man noch etwas Risikokapital übrig hat, kann man es jetzt schon wagen. Ich befürchte aber, dass eine Trendwende bei Corvis nicht mehr nur von neuen Kunden abhängt, sondern von der Branche allgemein. Da warte ich doch lieber noch ein Weilchen. es geht ja leider immer mehr runter als es am nächsten Tag wieder rauf geht.

Aber 2-3 Jahre ist auf jeden Fall eine gute Zeit. Ich denke da auch an Ciena. Wie es denen man dreckig ging .

Hallo Leute, Corvis wird derzeit unter Baranteil (rund 1 Mrd $) gehandelt !! Ist allerdings sehr gewagt jetzt einzusteigen, aber ich glaube so um die 2 bis 2,5 € kann man nicht viel falsch machen. Bislang wurde ein Umsatz von 149 Mio $ generiert in 2001. Geht man von ca. 300 Mio $ aus bis Jahresende ist das kuv unter 3. Jegliche Fantasie ist aus den Kursen raus.... aber Corvis hat verdammt viel Fantasie und die gibts gratis dazu
