re: Iris Group Unveils Network ArchitectureIts cisco's mistake to buy Monterey too early in the game. ---------- No, it was cisco's mistake to get fooled by monterey into thinking the product was much further along than it actually ways.
Most people would be shocked at the lack of due dilligance that goes on in M&A for technology companies. Often its marketing people and executives making these decisions in the dark without any true evaluation of the company or its technology. Lucent (with ascend) is the all-time best example of this.
re: Iris Group Unveils Network ArchitectureWhat exacly was Monteray, does anyone have litterature on the product? Was it simply a MEMS optical cross-connect like the LambdaRouter or the OPTera PX?
I suppose, specs should be available somewhere ?
Thanks,
