Description
Oplink Communications Inc was incorporated in California in September 1995 and was later reincorporated in Delaware in September 2000. It designs, manufactures and sells optical networking components and subsystems. Its products expand optical bandwidth, amplify optical signals, monitor and protect wavelength performance, redirect light signals, ensure signal connectivity and provide signal transmission and reception within an optical network. It provides over 350 different products that are sold as components and modules, or are integrated into custom solutions. It provide customers with high quality optical subsystems and components that are used for bandwidth creation, bandwidth management, interconnect and transmission products. Its products and solutions can be applied to all segments of the fiber optic network infrastructure including long-haul networks, metropolitan area networks ('MANs'), local area networks ('LANs'), wireless backhaul, internet data centers and fiber-to-the-home ('FTTH') networks. It provides its solution and products to the exacting requirements of the world's optical networking equipment companies, and work closely with customers during the product design and development cycle. This provides it with the ability to respond to the volume production requirements of its customers when their systems are ready for commercial deployment. It is responsive to its customers' volume, quality and time-to-market requirements. Its product portfolio includes solutions for next-generation, all-optical reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexing ('ROADM'), wavelength selective switch ('WSS'), dense and coarse wavelength division multiplexing ('DWDM' and 'CWDM,' respectively), optical amplification, signal switching and routing, signal conditioning and monitoring, fiber interconnect/termination/distribution and line transmission applications. Its addressable markets include long-haul networks, MANs, LANs, wireless backhaul and FTTH networks. Its customers include telecommunications, data communications and cable TV equipment manufacturers, as itll as data centers, clouding computing providers and system integrators located around the globe. It also serve as a photonic foundry to provide design, integration and optical manufacturing solutions ('OMS') for advanced and cost-effective components and subsystem manufacturing at its principal in-house design, service and manufacturing facility in Zhuhai, China. It has manufacturing, design and research and development facilities in Zhuhai, Shanghai and Wuhan, China and in Hsinchu, Taiwan. Its competitors include Alliance Fiber Optic Products, Avago Technologies, DiCon Fiberoptics, FDK Corporation, Finisar, Furukawa, JDS Uniphase Corporation, NEL Hitachi Cable, NeoPhotonics, Oclaro, Optoplex Corporation, Santec Corporation, Accelink, O-Net, Sitsce Photonics, Sumitomo Electric and numerous optical component manufacturers in China. Its products are subject to U.S. export control
