“The industry is seeking an optimal architecture for metropolitan Ethernet optical transport networks, and optical burst switching represents a promising new technology in this area.”

— Scott Clavenna, Chief Analyst, Heavy Reading Research

“With the optical market on a growth path, Matisse Networks’ optical burst switching technology is perhaps the most exciting metro DWDM solution for addressing the anticipated increase in Ethernet traffic while reducing capital and operational expenses.”

— Sam Masud, Principal Analyst Carrier Infrastructure, Frost & Sullivan

“Emerging at the right time, Matisse Networks’ optical burst switching is a compelling technology that must be considered before deploying any metro area network.”

— Michael Howard, Principal Analyst and Co-Founder, Infonetics Research

“The demanding bandwidth requirements stemming from triple play services is driving metro traffic demands above 10 Gbps. The emergence of optical burst switching from Matisse Networks is an innovative approach to blending the efficiencies of Ethernet with the enormous bandwidth of DWDM to accommodate the converged delivery of voice, video and data services.”

— Dave Passmore, Research Director, Burton Group

“Optical burst switching from Matisse Networks is a promising alternative to Ethernet over DWDM, it increases both bandwidth utilization and operational flexibility yielding significantly lower upfront capital expenditures and long term operational expenses.”

— Michael Kennedy, Partner, Network Strategy Partners

“At first glance, the economics of Matisse Networks’ solution look too good to be true, but the fundamental elimination of all optical circuits enabled by optical burst switching means fewer transponders are needed when building networks. With transponders responsible for the vast majority of capital cost, Matisse's solution has the potential to truly revolutionize the cost structure of metro networking.”
