Stratos International, Inc. (NASDAQ:STLW)
Industry: Technology
Stratos International, Inc. designs, develops, manufacturers and sells active and passive optical, optoelectronic and radio frequency (RF) and microwave components, subsystems and interconnect products used in telecom, enterprise, military and video markets. The products are used in a variety of applications, including Ethernet, synchronous optical network (SONET) and fiber channel applications for telecom/enterprise, tactical field communications for military and high definition transport for video. Optoelectronics Stratos optoelectronics products encompass a broad range of standardized, multi-source agreement (MSA) compliant and custom active fiber optic components, including embedded and removable transceivers, multi-channel optical links and custom integrated modules used in telecom, storage, data networking, military, video and industrial applications. These products support a wide variety of protocols including Gigabit Ethernet, fiber channel and SONET, and address a wide range of wavelengths and transmission distances. Stratos designs, manufactures and markets a broad product line of MSA transceivers for the telecom/enterprise market, including low-cost small form factor (SFF) and small form factor pluggable (SFP) modules, which can be produced in high volumes. Stratos' MSA transceivers offering includes 1x9, gigabit interface converter (GBIC), SFF, SFP and coarse wave division multiplexing (CWDM) SFP form factors in multiple laser variations for short, medium and long reach applications. Stratos manufactures a line of specialty transceivers based upon less commonly manufactured standard and non-standard form factors and protocols. These products leverage the Company's packaging, miniaturization and optoelectronic expertise and offer smaller modules with performance characteristics that are not available from other suppliers. Stratos optoelectronics products for the military market meet the shock and vibration requirements of military and harsh environment applications. The Company sells specialized transceivers and custom integrated modules designed to meet specific customer requirements, including Active Bulkheads, which combine a transceiver media converter and expanded beam connection in a single integrated package. Stratos provides optoelectronic solutions specifically designed for the transport of standard definition and high-definition video signals. These products include transceivers, media converters and subsystems. The competitors are Agilent Technologies, Inc., Finisar Corporation, JDS Uniphase Corporation and Optical Communications Products, Inc. Fiber optics Stratos manufactures and sells four, eight and 16-channel multiplexer and demultiplexer modules, one to four channel optical add/drop modules (OADM), integrated modules with pluggable and discrete active components and a dense wave division multiplexing (DWDM) interleaver product. The products are typically customized to the specific needs of the Company's telecom and enterprise customers. Stratos has automated and software driven optical flex circuit-manufacturing expertise. Using that expertise, the Company develops custom circuit cards and backplane solutions for specific customer requirements. Stratos supplies expanded beam and physical contact harsh environment connectors to the military and other end markets. Stratos' expanded beam connector technology uses optics to expand the beam of light at the end of the fiber, making the connector less susceptible to performance degradation due to dust, debris, moisture, shock and vibration. Stratos has developed a series of physical contact connectors to address additional applications. Stratos manufactures its specialty fiber components and assemblies in its United Kingdom facility. Capabilities at this facility include laser machining and shaping of fibers, glass-to-metal hermetic sealing, fiber metallization, as well as active device and polarization maintaining fiber termination. Products include custom optical subassemblies for transceiver and device manufact
