Fujikura and Nistica Announce Strategic Partnership

(continued)

"Nistica's innovative devices are an excellent fit with our production capabilities in South Asian facilities," added Noboru Sugiyama, Senior Executive Officer of Fujikura Limited. "We are very impressed with the FLEDGE series - it represents the best in fundamental product design and lends itself very well to our high-quality, low cost manufacturing processes. We look forward to an expanding relationship with Nistica."

Nistica was first to market with a new class of lean, flexible and intelligent subsystems to automate the edge and metro core of service provider networks. The company's FLEDGE subsystems deliver high optical performance at up to 80% lower first costs over comparable products deployed in core networks. Nistica's prototypes have been tested in more than fifteen customer labs and are being designed into the next generation of automated edge solutions by industry-leading OEM vendors.
