Edmonton, Alberta, March 11, 2002 - Micralyne Inc., one of the largest independent MEMS companies in North America, today announced that it will be exhibiting at next week's Optical Fiber Communication (OFC) Conference at booth # 6184.
"OFC is one our biggest shows of the year", commented Bruce Alton, Vice President, Marketing & Business Development, Telecommunications & Electronics for Micralyne. "We had an excellent show last year and our telecom related revenues were up over 55% despite the overall downturn in the economy and in the optics space in particular. We have had a lot of success due to the fact that we can offer product development expertise along with prototype and volume manufacturing all under one roof".
Micralyne will be displaying samples of its work in addition to providing information on its complete product line targeting the telecommunications marketplace. Micralyne's marketing and technical staff will also be on hand to answers questions and to discuss specific development opportunities.
Micralyne offers extensive MEMS product development expertise in addition to a full line of integrated passive components required for high-end optical switching and transmission systems.
Our product line includes:
- Optical Switch Systems - development, in partnership with clients, of proprietary MEMS optical switch systems
- Silicon Optical Bench Systems - development platforms that serve as a means to integrate optical components and subsystems thus reducing development and manufacturing costs
- Integrated Passive Components - standard and custom silicon and ceramic based components for fiber alignment (including silicon v-groove chips), thermal management (including laser diode submounts) and other optical applications
