A few companies will soon be under new ownership, we learned this week. Meanwhile, Lightwave says goodbye to an old friend and welcomes a new one, we finally have a new data center optical transceiver MSA (what took so long?), and service provider may finally have the tools necessary to evolve TDM networks to a packet-based approach. Lightwave Editorial Director Stephen Hardy has all the details in this week's Friday 5 video. Sponsored by Tempo Communications.
