NeoPhotonics today
announced that Huawei, the world's fastest growing manufacturer of telecommunications
network equipment, has recognized the company with its 2008 "Quality Excellence
Award."
NeoPhotonics provides a broad spectrum of active and passive optical components,
modules and subsystems, including SONET/SDH, GPON and GEPON transceivers, Planar
Lightwave Circuit (PLC) DWDM Multiplexer/Demultiplexers, VOA Multiplexers and
Reconfigurable Optical Add Drop Multiplexers (ROADM), and Micro-Electro-Mechanical
(MEMS) VOAs and Modules. Huawei uses NeoPhotonics products in its 10 and 40G
OptiX metro and long haul systems and in its “Fiber-To-the-Home”
ODN access solutions.
Furthermore, NeoPhotonics reported recently that the company became Huawei’s
leading supplier of optical components in 2008, based on sales figures from
2006 to 2008 and other information provided by Huawei. NeoPhotonics’ 40%
YOY sales growth has established NeoPhotonics as one of the top suppliers in
the industry.
Huawei executives presented the award to NeoPhotonics CEO and Chairman Tim
Jenks at a ceremony held at NeoPhotonics’ facilities in Shenzhen, China,
home to 2000 employees, the bulk of the company’s manufacturing infrastructure
and a significant portion of its development engineering resources.
“Huawei has scores of suppliers and we are proud that it recognized NeoPhotonics
as among the upper echelon,” said Mr. Jenks. “Recognition like this
bears out our strategy of extensive and ongoing investments in our Shenzhen
operations to create a high-volume and high-quality manufacturing and shipping
capability.”
NeoPhotonics is showcasing next week at the OFC/NFOEC Conference and Exposition
in San Diego (March 24 – 26, in booth 1126) the industry's most complete
portfolio of MEMS and “PIC” (photonic integrated circuit) based
optical components, its broad line of telecom transceiver products in SFF, SFP
and XFP form factors, its GPON transceiver portfolio, and new products for 40Gbps
and 100 Gbps coherent optical transmission systems.
