JDS Uniphase CEO Kevin Kalkhoven talks to The Wall Street Transcript NEW YORK, Nov. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- The Wall Street Transcript has published an in-depth interview with Kevin N. Kalkhoven, CEO of JDS Uniphase Corporation (Nasdaq: JDSU), in which he talks at length about his company's future. The entire interview is available free online at twst.com. He states, "JDS Uniphase was actually formed by the merger of JDS FITEL in Canada and Uniphase Corporation of the United States, both of which were leaders in their own fields of fiber-optic components for the telecommunications and cable television industry." He explains, "Uniphase was the leader in what are called active components. These consist of the semiconductor laser technology that is necessary to provide the light in a fiberoptic network. JDS was the leader in what are called passive components which is a technology that's necessary to guide and control the light in a fiberoptic network. The combination of the two gave us the broadest product range of technology in the industry and allowed us to move one step further to the creation of what we call our module strategy or the integration of these components into solutions for our customers. As a company, we are 50% bigger than all our competitors combined and growing 50% faster." StockHawk
