The messaging we got from them earlier in the year about trying out
their new Metro-E box was that we would be happy with it, considering
that every Metro-E solution they've thrown at us since 2008 has fallen
flat, splat!
Come game-time, even our own SE was blindsided by this DC-only support
on the ACX710. Proper show-stopper.
At any rate, the story is that they should be pushing out some new
ACX7xxx boxes from next year, which should have AC support (to you
psych. majors: more for the general public, and not the custom-built
ACX710).
I'm not sure I can be that patient, so I'm sniffing at Nokia's new
Metro-E product line. The problem is so far, as with Juniper and Cisco,
they've gone down the Broadcom route (some boxes shipping with Qumran,
others with Jericho 2, and on-paper, they are already failing some of
our forwarding requirements.
It's not easy...
Mark.
