OVERVIEW
Avanex designs, manufactures and markets fiber optic-based products, known as photonic processors, which are micro-optic devices that perform optical signal processing and are designed to increase the performance of optical networks. Our photonic processors offer communications service providers and optical systems manufacturers greater levels of performance and miniaturization, reduced complexity and increased cost-effectiveness as compared to current alternatives. We believe photonic processors will enable the next generation, all-optical network, which is necessary to support the increasing demand for bandwidth. Our photonic processors enable communications service providers and optical systems manufacturers to cost-effectively maximize the capacity of optical networks. Our products are designed to optimize optical network performance, provide a flexible, scalable and cost- effective optical transport solution, and facilitate the deployment of next generation service and applications such as VPN and B2B electronic commerce. |
