Supercom - Optics - 11 June 2005

Metro Optical (RoADM): the hype is down in spite of large RFPs from SBC and Verizon. The market seems small to day and very competitive as all vendors can offer products. But the solution is yet too expensive and a real cheap ROADM is still to be built. Vendors are hoping 2006 is the ROADM year to take off.
