Telecommunications is a high priority growth area for us, said Gregory L. Summe, PerkinElmer's chairman and CEO. This is a strategic investment for PerkinElmer, and expands our position as a world-class provider of component products and solutions for the telecommunications industry by capitalizing on our expertise in optical semiconductors, optoelectronic packaging, and high volume manufacturing.
