    SET optics provide an essential building block for the wavelength-agile access network of the future, providing the dynamic network capabilities needed to underpin the provider's creation and deployment of user-driven service delivery models. By providing fast wavelength-switching times and access-friendly cost points, SET optics will remove the operational and economic sensitivities that have previously limited tunable optics to transport applications.

    Judge's comment: "This 10G transceiver is special built to support PON."
