About Zagros Networks
Zagros Networks was a telecommunications technology company established in 2000 by co-founders Kamran Sayrafian and Nariman Farvardin. The firm operated from the Beltsville and later Rockville, Maryland area, positioning itself within the communications hardware sector.
The company's strategic focus was on developing and manufacturing silicon and software solutions engineered to alleviate data traffic congestion in metropolitan and edge communication networks. Its core product offering consisted of rate-aware switching fabrics. These components were designed to be integrated by network system manufacturers into their own switches and routers, enabling the creation of a more efficient packet infrastructure.
Zagros Networks successfully secured a significant first round of funding, raising $6.3 million from prominent venture capital firms Mohr Davidow Ventures and Novak Biddle Venture Partners. This investment led to representatives from both venture partners joining the company's board of directors, indicating a strong vote of confidence from the investment community in the company's technology and market potential at the time.
