    I heard some "rumor" saying that our FDDI products will support single
    mode fiber in a short time (end of 1990) thus increasing the distance
    between two stations.
    Is this right or it's just uncontrolled rumor?
    
    The reason I'm asking this question is because we have a customer who
    is interested on buying FDDI from us but he needs to go far beyond the
    2 kilometers supported by the multimode fiber.
    
    Can I tell him to wait for few month or should I tell him to buy
    FIBRONICS?
    
    Thanks in advance

|     Yes we will have FDDI products that will support SMC ( single mode
    connection) about Jan 91. The max distance betwen stations will be
    around 37Km I believe. Instead or LEDs in the optics we will be using
    Lazers.
