NEC Eluminant Adds $5 Million to Funding
February 15, 2002
By Roy Mark
NEC Eluminant Technologies, Inc. has finalized a $5 million funding agreement with one of Japan's largest venture capital firms, Yasuda Enterprise Development Co., Ltd. (YEDC), to support eLuminant's growth in fiber-based, broadband products and services. In addition to investments of $26 million announced last fall, the company's total Series A funding is $31 million.
The Chantilly, Va.-based eLuminant was spun off from NEC in 1998 to develop products that address the demand for high-speed broadband communications worldwide. It is currently developing a new generation of optical access network ("last-mile") equipment that will allow telecommunications carriers to provide high bandwidth data, voice and video to their business and residential subscribers.
"We're very pleased that Yasuda shares our vision for the future of optical networks and the development of passive optical network technology," said David Montanaro, chairman and chief executive officer of eLuminant. "We see significant interest in our technology from carriers around the globe and this funding will help us leverage these opportunities."
eLuminant already serves many of the major U.S. carriers and intends to partner with several international organizations to compete and serve customers on a global level.
"We are excited by eLuminant's position in the market as a dynamic international developer of new fiber-based access products as well as a provider of well-accepted and best selling broadband communications access equipment to the world's leading carriers," said Taikuke Hitomi, general manager of YEDC.
Yasuda is headquartered in Tokyo with offices in Osaka, Menlo Park Ca., and Taipei. Capital under management by the company is currently $350 million. The company is actively investing in Japan, the U.S., Taiwan and other countries with industry preferences in information technology, medical devices and biotechnology areas in the case of overseas investment. The company is owned by The Yasuda Fire & Marine Insurance Co., LTD and The Yasuda Mutual Life Insurance Company.
