Joint Venture Formed by Nanoptics and Samyang to Complete Development and Begin Manufacturing High Speed Data Communications Medium.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers GAINESVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 27, 2001 NANOPTICS, INC inc - /ink/ increment, i.e. increase by one. Especially used by assembly programmers, as many assembly languages have an "inc" mnemonic. Antonym: dec. . today announced the formation of a joint venture with strategic partner SAMYANG CORP. The new company, Digital Optronics Corporation, will further develop Nanoptics' new method for mass production of Graded Index Plastic Optical fiber Plastic optical fiber (POF) is an optical fiber which is made out of plastic. traditionally PMMA (acrylic) is the core material, and fluorinated polymers are the cladding material. (GRIN POF POF Piano dell'Offerta Formativa (Italy) POF Piano dell'Offerta Formativa (Italian school document) POF Plastic Optical Fiber POF Premature Ovarian Failure (early menopause) ) for use in Digital Communications. GRIN POF is a high bandwidth digital communication medium for distances up to100 meters (330 feet). It will compete in two primary markets namely Residential Networking and Optical Backplanes within the Internet infrastructure. GRIN POF is the ideal medium for these applications as it is inexpensive, unaffected by electromagnetic interference See EMI. , is very secure, stable at high temperatures, extremely resilient, easy to install with minimal training and is able to transmit data at speeds of up to 2 Gigabits per second. Truly the fiberoptic medium of the future for these applications, the project has been appropriately named "Firebase fire·base n. A military base or site from which heavy fire is directed against the enemy. Noun 1. firebase - an artillery base to support advancing troops ", because of its blazing speed and potential universal use as a basic networking medium. Firebase GRIN POF compares well with existing primary media, i.e. Glass Optical fiber (GOF GOF Gang of Four (Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, John Vlissides; authors of the book Design Patterns) GOF Gang of Four (short-time Communist China's leader after the death of Mao) ) and twisted copper wire. Firebase is substantially less expensive to manufacture and install than both copper wire and GOF, is faster than copper and significantly easier to handle and connect than GOF. Nanoptics, Inc., a leading researcher and manufacturer of specialty Plastic Optical Fiber for over 14 years, is located in Gainesville, FL. SAMYANG CORP. is a leading worldwide manufacturer and holding company of the Samyang Group of Companies whose annual revenues exceed $1.38 Billion producing Industrial Polymer Fiber, Foodstuffs foodstuffs npl → comestibles mpl foodstuffs npl → denrées fpl alimentaires foodstuffs food npl → , Engineering Plastics, Pharmaceuticals and Heavy Machinery located in Seoul, Korea. Digital Optronics Corp. will be initially located at Nanoptics' R&D Facility in the NE Industrial Park of Gainesville, FL. |
