Background

Company in progress Metaswitch (formerly Data Connection Ltd) was founded in 1981 by seven former IBM employees led by Ian Ferguson, who remains on the board of directors. The company's earliest business areas included IBM Systems Network Architecture (SNA) and retail point of sale systems. In the 1990s, the company began developing network protocol software.

Thrutu, a division of Metaswitch Networks

In 2000, the company launched the Metaswitch brand, which provided softswitches and network management systems designed to enable telephone service providers to migrate to Voice over IP (VoIP) networks while still supporting legacy telephone technologies. By 2008, the Metaswitch division was responsible for 78% of the company’s revenue.

In April 2009, the company announced intentions to consolidate all of its products and business operations under the Metaswitch brand, with two business units: the Carrier Systems Division and Network Protocol Division. In October 2009, the company rebranded itself as “Metaswitch Networks”, to reflect the growing focus on the products and services that it sells to telephone service providers.

In August 2011, the company formally changed its name from Data Connection Ltd to Metaswitch Networks Ltd.

Metaswitch claims more than 500 service provider customers and 250 OEM customers, including 150 independent operating companies (IOCs) and 125 competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs). Notable customers include AT&T, British Telecom (BT), Cable & Wireless Worldwide, Cisco, Deutsche Telekom, Sprint Nextel, Telefonica, Verizon and Vodafone.

In March 2010, Metaswitch acquired AppTrigger Inc, a provider of Service Broker solutions in Richardson, TX.

In April 2011, Metaswitch acquired Colibria AS, a provider of Rich Communication Suite (RCS) software in Oslo, Norway.

In 1987, Metaswitch established the Employee Benefit Trust (EBT) to hold shares of the company on behalf of the employees, which enabled company-wide profit sharing.

In January 2008 Francisco Partners, a private equity firm, and Sequoia Capital, a venture capitalist firm, invested an undisclosed sum in Metaswitch.
