RiteKom Photonics Corp., a Taiwan-based optical-networking components provider, said it is entering the U.S. market with the opening of an office in Foster City, Calif.
RiteKom said it is "quickly establishing a local presence with networking equipment makers and carriers" by offering transceivers, optical fiber and a variety of fiber cable and passive optical components from its manufacturing facilities in Taiwan.
The U.S. office will primarily serve as the launching pad for RiteKom's international business plans and will help bridge the Pacific Gap to provide immediate technical support for U.S. customers, as well as sales and marketing functions, officials said.
"The economic downturn in the telecommunications market, combined with the pressure on system makers to lower the cost of their products and the emergence of industry wide standard specifications, makes this industry ripe for the mass-production of components," said Kao Feng Tsai, president and chief executive officer (CEO) of RiteKom Photonics Corp., in a statement. "Just as the semiconductor, computer and computer peripheral industries moved manufacturing to Taiwan, so will optical components."
RiteKom said it has established ISO 9001 certified manufacturing facilities. Its initial products include optical fiber, Tight Buffer Fiber Cable for indoor LAN environments, and a variety of Loose Tube Fiber Cable for outdoor environments. The company also supplies a range of active components, including transceivers in the 155 mbps to 2.5 Gbps range with 850, 1310 and 1550 nm wavelengths, with 10 Gbps transceivers to follow in Q3 2002.
RiteKom's range of active components includes small form factor (SFF), small form factor pluggable (SFP) and GBIC transceivers. Passive components include connectors, ferrules, adaptors, attenuators and couplers.
David Yen, director of marketing and international sales, will be responsible for developing operations within the U.S. marketplace, as well as establishing sales and marketing channels for existing products lines.
