Thank you. (Operator Instructions). Michael Cody with B. Riley. Your line is open.
Michael Cody - B. Riley
Thanks. Hi Tom, hi Bill. Good afternoon.
Tom Steipp
Hi, Michael.
Michael Cody - B. Riley
You talked about cable little bit, want a little bit could you break it out in the quarter DTI sales?
Tom Steipp
You know we’re really not breaking out. It's a product line it's part of wireline but certainly what I can say is that we see this as a good product offering for us. Recap is over the course of the last 18 months or so we have introduced several new products our V-Factor, QoE, PackeTime products, the one that has caught the earliest attention in the market is cable and is certainly one that we are going to very aggressively pursue. I think I have mentioned in the last call Michael, that we have now added very experienced and dedicated both sales and support engineer in that segment and see the opportunities for continued growth throughout the at least the course of the next couple of years.
Michael Cody - B. Riley
Okay, and thanks and then on the 1588 you mentioned that you have got I think 10 trails underway.
Tom Steipp
10 trails underway, yes.
Michael Cody - B. Riley
Okay. Could you talk about the sort of stage those are in and what are your expectations are for that product over the next few quarters?
Tom Steipp
Yeah, I think the stage is similar there to what we saw with the cable products about a year ago, you’ll have to recall that the 1588 solution comes in two pieces. There is a grand master server which we have and then there is client that sits out on the edge of the network. So, a number of both equipment manufactures who are trailing the clients as well as our grand master server as well as customers are basically checking it out to make sure that works. The one question that everybody has relative to this solution is just how many hops it will go through between the server and the client on the edge but what’s driving this is really bandwidth enhancements things like remote GPON and the deployment of gigabit Ethernet. As these broadband technologies push towards at the edge, something’s going to have to provide sync on the edge. We think 1588 is that product and it worked very well position for.
