The Lightwave Report Series of reports is an integrated and consistent approach to developing understanding of the entire optical network as well as the major systems comprising that network. Each of the individual reports offers a discussion of the technologies involved in the primary system of the report, an applications review, a detailed analysis of the market drivers impacting the subject system, a listing of all of the major vendors of the subject systems as well as a discussion of their products, and forecasts for market results for the subject systems as well as for prices of the systems.
These reports are developed in such a manner so that each one is a complete standalone document for its primary subject, but they are also consistent across the entire network to allow a broader understanding of the overall network.
The series is offered by IGI Consulting Inc. and prepared by Clifford Holliday of B & C Consulting Services, an industry veteran with over 38 years of telecommunications experience.

Who's Who in Optical Networking
The unprecedented growth in the national networks, based almost exclusively by the growth in Internet traffic, has caused a scramble by service providers and equipment vendors to develop the most economical and appropriate approaches to meet this growth. Naturally, this demand driven market has also resulted in many new entrants, both service providers and equipment developers. Since the collapse of the telco markets and the 9-11 attack, many of these new entrants (and some old ones) have departed, or vastly changed their product slates.
