The company is targeting opportunities where it can use its high-speed data transmission protocols as these technologies are used across multiple data communication and telecommunication applications.

Leveraging its sound engineering experience and technical knowhow, Finisar aims to maintain a leading position in the optical subsystems and components industry. The company continues to expand its broad product line of optical subsystems through dedicated R&D activities to meet the evolving customer needs.
