Belden Completes Acquisition of Precision Optical Technologies

In a strategic move, Belden announced in May its acquisition of Precision Optical Technologies, a global leader in optical system engineering and integration. The company, established in 2011, has a strong foothold in the optical transceiver market and recently rebranded to reflect its global expansion and product diversification into end-to-end optical networking solutions.

Completing the acquisition on July 1, Belden stated, “Precision Optical Technologies’ strong position in the transceiver market will benefit Belden as we look to grow our offerings in the Enterprise Solutions segment and broadband markets. As networks are upgraded, and bandwidth demands increase, Precision Optical Technologies’ products are critical components in accelerating fiber deployments. Further, combined with Belden fiber and network solutions, our teams will now have enhanced passive optical network (or ‘PON’) capabilities and will sit deeper in the fiber network allowing for additional opportunities with MSOs, telcos, data centers, and enterprise customers. We look forward to working with our new team members to grow our solutions capabilities.”  

Precision OT is a formidable player that has created innovative products over the years since its inception. Most recently, it announced its award-winning Genesee™ Dispersion Compensation ASIC, an application-specific integrated circuit designed to extend the transmission distances and enhance the data rates of DWDM access networks. Similarly, the company announced OpenPath™, a turnkey solution that enables a more open Passive Optical Network (PON) ecosystem. 

The company is committed to continuous evolution and growth, encompassing a full suite of optical networking solutions and network design services that further support fiber deployments as they accelerate.
