Lucent Lands DoD DWDM Deal

Phil Harvey writes on Light Reading:

Lucent Technologies Inc.is close to pulling off what looks to be a huge optical networking win against 12 other vendors for a European DWDM network managed by the U.S. Defense Department, Light Reading has learned.

The Defense Department acknowledged in a statement late Friday that it will award Lucent a two-year contract, with the possibility of three one-year extensions. Sources close to the deal say the paperwork hasn't been finalized yet, but the total contract has an "estimated life cycle value $94,000,000" the Defense Department statement says.
