Cinta Networks

Cinta Networks, Incorporated was a venture-backed optical networking equipment startup of the dot-com era, funded in part by Battery Ventures and led by CEO John Vaughan. The company built the patented WAVEJunction product family, an architecture that integrated DWDM optical transport with optical switching in a single network element for metro, regional, and long-haul carrier networks, claiming capital-expense savings of more than 50 percent and operational savings of over 70 percent through modular, port-at-a-time growth, universal transponder cards, and dynamic wavelength reconfiguration across ring and mesh topologies. Public activity is visible from roughly 2000 to 2002, including a January 2002 WAVEJunction field-trial agreement with Pacific LightNet and a component supply arrangement with ADC. Cinta Networks appears to have ceased operations in the post-telecom-bust period: archived captures of cintanetworks.com show the site replaced by a parked domain-search page by 2004, and the domain no longer resolves in DNS as of July 2026. Cinta was a hardware manufacturer and never published a public developer API, developer portal, SDKs, or machine-readable API artifacts, so there is no API surface for this profile to describe. It is retained in the API Evangelist network as a historical Battery Ventures portfolio record.

human only

Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.

Kin Score

Cinta Networks is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Cinta Networks scores 6.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

Properties that don't map to a standard resource type

Cinta Networks is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
