Brian and Ed_Lucent:

Thanks for valuable information.

Yes, with the controlled launch, the installed base MM fiber can reach 300
meter using 850 nm VCSEL, and reach 400 meter using 1300 nm FP laser, both
at 2.5 Gbps data rate.  I will present the data in Montreal. 

Concerning the super MM fibers, I have studied their performance, and are
great.  Basically what they did is to avoid the mistakes industry did on the
existing MM fibers.  With the improved EMB of the installed base, they are
as good as the supper fibers.  However, there are terribly defected MM
fibers among the installed base; namely, excessive DMD fiber, which we have
to remove from the installed base.

Both the improved EBM, installed base, and the super fibers are needed to
serve industry needs.  They will co-exist to keep users happy.

     Eds,
     
     Just to clarify.  The Blaze WWDM proposal is to use 8 VCSELs, each at 
     1.25Gb/s, so 200m on the installed base of MMF is feasible with this 
     approach.  The HP WWDM proposal is to use 4 1.3 micron uncooled DFBs 
     (with reduced specs), supporting 300m on the installed base of MMF.  
     Of course if Ed Chang has a new controlled launch scheme to present to 
     us, or if an MAS scheme is adopted, longer distances may be achieved.

Ed,

Just keep in mind that the serial VCSEL 10G solution will meet 300m, but
over enhanced MMF and not the embedded base. The WWDM approach will support
installed MMF, but can only go ~100m. So to support 300m of installed base
with the WWDM approach you need to go with 4 1.3DFB sources multiplexed.

Having said that..would you still have a strong bias towards including the
embedded base in the objective, or would you be content just saying MMF and
excluding the word "embedded" or "installed".
