WALLINGFORD, Conn. -- CiDRA Corporation today announced the expansion of its Connecticut operations to approximately 190,000 square feet by year-end from 89,000. The new space will be used to ramp-up manufacturing capacity to meet growing product demand.

"The fiber optic communications market continues to grow at an explosive rate," said John Viega, Vice President of Operations. "Our customers require high volumes of reliable products with increasingly shorter lead times. Our expansion allows us to meet this need by providing scaleable manufacturing capacity for the production of custom-designed, cost-effective, highly-reliable wavelength management solutions for the telecommunications industry." http://www.cidra.com
