Hey Dave, some sort of thirty day rule on on the reverse split.


uc.

Seems like a comfortable ride to $20 ($2.50 pre-consolidation) **IF** volume on this bounce of the bottom is sustained.

I'm hoping that big-telco spending on last-mile fibre-optic upgrades ramps up in 2007. They have to compete more aggressively against the cable companies. (Personally, I can't wait to have choice on channel delivery; bloody cable company forces me to buy un-needed channels so that I can watch CNBC. Go telcos!)

I see $18.32 and $21.60 as resistance levels, the latter with considerable volume in late Aug-2006. Other than the general negative historical sentiment for this stock (past management has misstepped a lot and cost shareholders very dearly), a couple of analyst upgrades should help the upward momentum in the near term.

People have loved to hate this stock. Is it time to hate to love this stock (like an ex that has lost weight, gotten a killer body, landed a juicy A-list-movie role and become a starlet... maybe on way to true stardom)?

Profit all.

JDSU Introduces Industry's Most Robust 100 Gigabit Ethe...

MILPITAS, Calif., Aug 19, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- JDSU today introduced a set of 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GE) test solutions that will help 100GE component developers, network equipment designers and service providers unlock the performance and revenue potential of 100GE technology. The JDSU suite evaluates and verifies components, subassemblies and network equipment. Additionally, it helps service providers ensure reliable performance on new network builds.

According to the research firm IDC, 100G solutions are poised to come to market faster than 40G. Demand for 100G is accelerated by access technologies and services converging increasingly onto the same networks. This is driving greater capacity and bandwidth requirements and also introducing greater complexity. As the number of services and applications sharing high speed networks increases, IDC believes full testing and compliance takes on greater importance.

"The current shift towards 100 Gigabit Ethernet represents a major discontinuity in network infrastructures that creates a greater importance on the value of testing to ensure quality. At the same time, testing challenges are expanded by the growing service provider focus on customer experience," said Elisabeth Rainge, IDC's Director of NGN Operations. "We see JDSU well positioned to meet this challenge in the earliest stages of deployment and beyond."

Specifically, JDSU solutions support 100GE physical layer test including photonic and electrical signal testing as well as protocol testing for layers 1, 2 and 3. The full test solution includes:


    --  The JDSU ONT 100G Module for testing optical and electrical interfaces
        from the physical layer to Ethernet/IP, protocol testing, PCS layer
        validation and transponder testing.
    --  The JDSU Hydra for stressed receiver sensitivity on 100GE systems,
        including stress generation and stress sensitivity measurement.

    --  The JDSU MAP-200 for multiplexing/de-multiplexing, signal conditioning
        and signal access of 100GE optical signals.




The range of testers covers all key requirements for the early stages of 100GE, including transponder testing/validation, network equipment development, and system verification testing (SVT). Advanced applications support developers in the challenging task of debugging and verifying highly complex 100GE multi-lane, multi-lambda products.

"100 Gigabit Ethernet will further enable manufacturers and service providers to meet the challenge of keeping pace with ever-increasing capacity requirements. It will deliver improved network flexibility and responsiveness to high-bandwidth service demand," said Dave Holly, president of JDSU's Communications Test and Measurement business segment. "Our 100GE solutions will help network equipment manufacturers and service providers bring reliable products and services to market quickly--and seize initial opportunities to gain market footholds."

About JDSU 100G Solutions

The JDSU ONT 100G Module offers leading precision to measure the IP/Ethernet layer. The tool analyzes packets and provides unmatched characterization capability. In addition, it offers unique applications for per-lane and per-lambda virtual BERT using an intuitive user interface for faster analysis and debugging. The 100G Module supports generation and measurement of the skew of multi-lane signals at the full range, one of the key challenges in 100GE systems. In addition, JDSU offers a complete solution for transponder characterization.

JDSU 100GE testers provide a broad range of interface options: transponders which are compliant with the CFP Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) to cover a wide range of systems with line rates of 40 Gb/s, 100 Gb/s and 112 Gb/s, supporting both 4x25 Gb/s and 10x10 Gb/s, as well as an electrical interface for direct measurement in electronics. The MDIO control interface of the CFP transponder offers remote supervision via an external connector. OTU4 capabilities are offered.

100GE testers from JDSU draw from the company's history of innovation and expertise. JDSU currently provides one of the industry's most complete 40G test portfolios and was involved in some of the first 40G field turn-ups. JDSU 40G products include the ONT, TestPoint, MAP-200, Hydra, and T-BERD((R))/MTS platforms; the ONT was the first all-in-one tester for 40/43G, including jitter and wander.

Fiber-Optic Network Plays See Rising EPS
By ALAN R. ELLIOTT, INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY
Posted 12/31/2010 06:03 PM ET

Fiber-optic network equipment makers finished 2010 on a positive note, closing as a group at a three-year high Friday.

The group ranked No. 34 in Friday's IBD, with six of its 17 stocks holding EPS Ratings above 80.

Fiber-optic equipment makers have seen a surge in demand in the past year. Network providers are being forced to expand capacity. Part of that is due to the growth of smart phones and mobile computing via netbooks and tablet devices. Streaming video services such as YouTube.com and those offered by Netflix (NFLX) are also affecting demand.

The surge has helped companies such as JDS Uniphase (JDSU) climb out of the sales and earnings slump of late 2008 and 2009.

JDS is trading tightly, near its April 2008 high, after clearing an eight-month consolidation in December.

Oplink's (OPLK) earnings growth has been strong and sales growth has accelerated over the past two quarters. Analysts see the strong performance continuing in Q4, with an estimated gain of 58%. The stock is forming a handle to its current base.

One of the sharpest improvements in the group has come from Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Finisar (FNSR) .

Its earnings declined in the four quarters ending with the October 2009 period. That has depressed its EPS Rating.

Earnings jumped to triple-digit growth through the fiscal second quarter, ended in October.

Analysts project 171% EPS growth on a 53% move in sales for Q3. Finisar reported net proceeds of $117.9 million from a stock offering ended Dec. 27. That leaves the company with a war chest estimated at $215 million.

Finisar leapt 5% Friday, leaving shares up 55% for December. Shares are extended after breaking out of a base-on-base pattern on Dec. 2.
