Mark, I'm willing to bet that ZTE or Huawei has more installed units than Zhone does by several orders of magnitude. Plus with the prices so cheap you can afford to have spares of everything.
Chuck, I didn't see your detailed numbers for the AE deployment. What equipment are you using for that? Don't forget about space/power/cooling requirements for AE. This C320 shelf only sips about 100 watts with 7-8 olt ports enabled.
