Anritsu and Yenista Optics agree
to transfer few selected technologies
Yenista Optics and Anritsu Corporation have agreed on the
transfer of selected optical instruments and technology
to Yenista. The instruments and technology relate to laboratory
optical products including tunable lasers (Tunics), a modular
platform (Osics), a tunable filter (Xtract), and an optical
component tester (MT9820). The agreement guarantees continuity
in product support for Anritsu's customers.
"This transfer perfectly fits the long term strategy
of Anritsu and we are confident that Yenista Optics will
continue to support the customers in this area very well"
says Mark Evans, Executive VP of Anritsu. "The transferred
products will continue to be fully available through Anritsu's
sales channels and will be gradually transferred to Yenista's
sales channels over the next 12 months."
As part of the deal, Yenista acquired the corresponding
patent portfolio comprising IP on tunable lasers, tunable
filters, optical spectrum analyzers, PMD measurement and
DWDM multiplexers. "The deal is an excellent opportunity
for Yenista to further expand its T&M business. We added
a complete new product line with the lasers and seriously
extended our IP" stated Michiel van der Keur, CEO of
Yenista. "Yenista focuses on providing high performance
T&M equipment in order to enable customers to solve
efficiently the most demanding T&M problems".
Yenista will move manufacturing and R&D from the Paris
area to its headquarters in Lannion, France.
