LANNION, France, June 15 -- HighWave Optical Technologies, a manufacture of telecommunications components and subsystems, and OptiMight Communications, a manufacturer of next-generation WDM systems for ultra-long reach transmission and optical networking, announce today a long-term manufacturing agreement for the creation of Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFAs) and integrated EDFA solutions for the optical transport market.
    "The technical synergies between our two companies make this new partnership agreement with OptiMight a compelling one," said Eric Delevaque, president and CEO of HighWave Optical Technologies.
    "As a new generation supplier of next generation WDM systems, we anticipate that the creative dynamic between HighWave and OptiMight -- one that allows us to respond in real-time to our customer requirements -- will significantly enhance our product line and reduce our time-to-market with these products," said Karl Ma, director of marketing at OptiMight.
    The partnership combines HighWave's EDFA technology with OptiMight's optical fiber electronics expertise in the creation of new turnkey solutions for the optical fiber market.
