EFFECT Photonics Receives Investment From PhotonDelta
EFFECT Photonics, a developer of highperformance dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical components based on its optical System-on-Chip technology, today announced an investment from PhotonDelta.
EFFECT Photonics has secured €5M in funding to support its growing 5G and data centre business. The funds will be used to further accelerate product development and business scale-up, and thereby strengthens the integrated photonics ecosystem.
EFFECT Photonics' CEO James Regan says the Internet of Things, virtual reality, and cloud services are growing in popularity every day, increasing the demand for the best service possible. “These applications all depend on the next generation of connectivity, and 5G mobile infrastructure relies on the backing of a world-class optical network enabled by EFFECT Photonics. We are extremely proud that PhotonDelta shows this confidence in us, and are certain that the investment will support our ongoing work to enable this next era of photonics connectivity.”
CTO Boudewijn Docter adds: “At EFFECT Photonics, we integrate all of the optical functions into a single chip and combine it with low-cost, non-hermetic packaging and automatic tuning. Thus DWDM - the proven solution for core and metro networks - is now simple, cost-effective and scalable enough for 5G infrastructure rollouts around the world. This funding allows us to really push forward our nextgeneration products to bring even more powerful optical systems to the edges of the network”.
PhotonDelta CEO Ewit Roos explains: “EFFECT Photonics is a key player within our ecosystem, a frontrunner that develops and delivers complex integrated optical products in a high-volume global market that demands 5G connectivity now. To this end, we are thrilled to fund EFFECT Photonics in developing their products and scaling up their business. Their products are supported by many other companies in the field of photonic integration services and components. Thus, the business growth of EFFECT Photonics has a profound impact as it leverages the scale of activity and innovation of the entire supply chain of integrated photonics in the Netherlands.”
The health and well-being of AngelTech speakers, partners, employees and the overall community is our top priority. Due to the growing concern around the coronavirus (COVID-19), and in alignment with the best practices laid out by the CDC, WHO and other relevant entities, AngelTech decided to postpone the live Brussels event to 16th - 18th November 2020.
In the interim, we believe it is still important to connect the community and we want to do this via an online summit, taking place live on Tuesday May 19th at 12:00 GMT and content available for 12 months on demand. This will not replace the live event (we believe live face to face interaction, learning and networking can never be fully replaced by a virtual summit), it will supplement the event, add value for key players and bring the community together – digitally.
The event will involve 4 breakout sessions for CS International, PIC International, Sensors International and PIC Pilot Lines.
Key elements of the online summit:
- Covering key topics of the industries
- Live 3 hour online summit
- 10 minute presentations – learn from experts in the industry
- Recorded product demos
- Live audience questions
- Enhanced discussion and audience interaction
- Video panel sessions
- Sponsors digital booth (intro video, company content, lead generator, facilitate one on one video meetings with attendees)
- Live private video meetings between two or more attendees
- After the live event, monthly keynotes to drive traffic to the event 24/7, 365
Innovation is in AngelTech’s DNA and we are leveraging this strength to bring you an immersive and inspiring online event without the risk of travel during this uncertain period.
