BroadLight Opens in China

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- After announcing its second generation GPON solution and more than 25 new GPON design wins, BroadLight today announced that it has established an office in Shanghai China and hired Mr. Kevin Zhang as Country Manager. The opening of a China office is BroadLight’s latest move to expand its world wide infrastructure in response to its growing base in China and to support and establish new partnerships.

The opening of a China office is BroadLight’s latest move to expand its worldwide infrastructure in response to its growing customer base. The Company also opened a Japan office in January 2006 and just recently announced that it had signed 25 new licensees for its GPON silicon and software solution.

“China represents one of our fastest growing markets and this investment reaffirms our commitment to the region,” said Raphael Sankar, Vice President of Worldwide Sales for BroadLight. “Under the leadership of Kevin Zhang, we believe BroadLight’s GPON technology will become the PON technology of choice in China as it offers more performance and lower costs than competing fiber access solutions.”

Added Kevin Zhang, Country Manager of BroadLight China, “I am very pleased to join BroadLight, which has already won key designs in China and was honored with last year’s EDN China’s Innovation Award. BroadLight’s E2E GPON solution is now shipping to customers and is well timed for the PON market here in China.”
