BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Optelian designs and develops optical telecommunication transport equipment. Optelian has designed a unique product that can operate without a temperature controlled environment - no need for heating or air conditioning in extreme conditions.
SOFII PROJECT SUMMARY
SOFII funding was used for working capital to complete the development of the 9103 multiplexor, supporting Lab and Network Equipment Building Systems (NEBS) testing and towards the development of the next generation of products.
TESTIMONIAL
"With the help of funding from SOFII, Optelian was able to complete R&D on its optical transport network edge solutions. Optelian’s network edge solutions are now generally available and providing network operators the ability to easily upgrade their network and deliver high bandwidth to outside cabinets exposed to environmental extremes."
