All MEMS IP & Inventory Transferred From OMM To CrossFiber
The Intellectual Property (IP) includes 2D and 3D MEMS patents
CrossFiber Inc. has purchased the entire patent portfolio, invention and lab notebooks, manufacturing knowhow and 2D MEMS switch inventory of photonic switch maker OMM.
OMM was the inventor and pioneering manufacturer of the world's first Telcordia-qualified MEMS-based photonic switch modules.
For data centre owner/operators and fibre optic telco networks, CrossFiber manufactures photonic switches. Its LiteSwitch all-optical switches feature 3D MEMS micro-mirror technology originally started at OMM, combined with beam control innovations developed and licensed by Trex --which incubated CrossFiber-- and CrossFiber's own innovations in beam control, switch architecture, and precision optics. CrossFiber's proprietary technologies also employ non-invasive beam steering (NIBS), and custom ASICs.
With the expansion of opportunities in data centres and telco networks, CrossFiber has now been fully spun off as an independent company.
"We now own an even stronger IP portfolio and a deeper base of knowhow," says Hus Tigli, CrossFiber's President & CEO, who also served as the CEO of OMM. "Our core technologies, combined with our innovations in automated manufacturing and testing of precision parts enable us to serve customers demanding performance, economical solutions and volume manufacturing."
