Matisse Networks to Speak on Carrier Ethernet-Based
Converged Services Infrastructure at Ethernet Expo 2007
 

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., October 9, 2007—Matisse Networks, the leader in optical burst switching, today announced that Mr. Timon Sloane will lead a discussion on the shift toward packetization of optical networks at Ethernet Expo 2007 in New York City at the Hilton New York on October 15.

The presentation will examine the service protocols and optical technologies for metro Ethernet optical networks which maximize bandwidth utilization, increase service flexibility, and lower overall cost of ownership.

“It is clear that optical transport networks are shifting from SONET/SDH to a packet-centric optical transport” said Timon Sloane, Matisse Networks vice president of marketing. “While there is consensus that optical networks must be transformed to support the explosive growth of packet traffic, this presentation will address the uncertainty that remains with emerging packet optical transport network architectures.”

Ethernet Expo 2007 is the largest carrier Ethernet event in North America, where leading experts will assemble to explore carrier Ethernet networking and service trends. In addition to the presentation, Matisse Networks will have experts on hand throughout the event for private meetings with those wishing to learn more about the benefits of Matisse Networks’ EtherBurst™ optical switch.
