TOSA

• First lot tested and qualidfied 
• CTTx assembly waiting for last bids but all in time

MUX

• From the temperature tests forst results all the components seems to comply with the requirements. One model did show bigger channel bandwidth variation variations.
  • it is still to be evaluated how much the variation would play on the total margin and to have a system level analysis/table of the contributions to the optical power budget <= Action on Antonio
• It would be possible to separate the contract for the BPM and BLM: actually this might be better as would allow to optimise the spec for each procurement as the 2 objects are not the same

QSFP/SFP+

• market search still ongoing
• it was asked what is the deadline for a decision to be taken
  • BI expects to have the contract done for (Q)SFP(+) and MUXes while antonio is still on the project
  • it is agreed to take a decision in June to have the time to prepare the contract, and in case we need to reprtofile the budget leaves enough time

ROSA

• The meeting where updates were expected from the company had to be cancelled: the company's manager was ill.
• There is not a perceived risk yet, but in absence of news about the contract ESE initiated the procedure for a plan B
  • first contacts with another european company (opticap/ALTEC)
  • the actual steps to prepare a possible procurement with them is nevertheless delayed to after the next meeting with the preferred company
  • Jan will meet the representative of the rpeferred company face to face end of MArch beginning of April
