These commitments come from customers in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific and include commitments from all of our vertical markets. The DTN-X is in full deployment across the globe and, as forecasted, we began recognizing revenue from this platform in the third quarter.
"We are at the beginning of what we believe will be an expansive market opportunity for 100G that will extend over many years. We are pleased with the very strong initial support for the DTN-X, reaffirming the value proposition of this unique and market-changing 100G converged WDM/OTN switching platform. We believe that customers appreciate the superior scale, efficiency, reliability, simplicity and lower total cost of ownership offered by the DTN-X and we are very optimistic about the outlook for its continued adoption.
"We are also seeing continued wins with our DTN platform with three new DTN customers in the quarter. Our Digital Optical Network portfolio now delivers the same ease-of-use and quality across multiple applications in multiple markets."
