Opthos: SAN in Its Eyes: Page 4 of 4

Overall, analysts say Opthos's chances look good, but the company will be challenged to prove its value in enabling carriers to roll out cheaper, faster services -- a task that puts them up against larger players like Ciena, which have already dibbed a spot in carrier networks.

"New companies always have to fight the legacy network," says Ron Kline, senior analyst at RHK Inc. "But it's really early, and Opthos is first. This is going to be a 'let's see' deal. I think their chances are good."
