The UCS 2900 is
also perfect compliment to Fibre Channel / FICON switches and directors to
enable a scalable, flexible storage and networking infrastructure . K2
Optronics' products are used in the following applications:

* CATV: Direct modulated analog transmitters for broadcasting
transmission over hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) networks

* FTTx: Broadcast video overlay for advanced video services

* Telecommunications: Access, metro edge, metro transport, long haul, or
ultra long haul direct modulated transmitters at speeds of 2. Through its joint venture participation in GELcore,
LLC, EMCORE plays a vital role in developing and commercializing next-
generation high-brightness LED technology for use in the general and specialty
illumination markets.
