Sounds like bull to me.  They're trying to ride the wave of excitement about
optical switching systems, but their technology talks about "acoustic"
switching in only a few microseconds.  At GHz speeds, a microsecond is
forever.  Sounds like they have some device that will switch a single fiber
inteface (slowly) between multiple something-elses (details are unclear).

I wouldn't give them any money :-)
