Polatis is the leading provider of purely optical switching technology. Unlike conventional electrical/optical switches, these switches not only convert signals but also control them with optical purity, delivering significantly higher performance. Polatis switches enable faster switching speeds, excellent reliability, and low optical loss. These innovative solutions are unique in the market and hold great promise for the future.
Urs Kaufmann, CEO of HUBER + SUHNER, explains that the Polatis portfolio represents an excellent strategic complement to the HUBER + SUHNER product range: "Polatis' pioneering technology strengthens our position in the field of fiber optics, in our interconnected world undergoing continuous digitalization at a breakneck pace, as data volumes grow exponentially. Polatis technology enables the rapid, efficient, and secure management of these enormous data flows. HUBER + SUHNER will invest further in Polatis and we expect to see significant progress in the data center markets and a positive economic contribution within the next two to three years. We are delighted to have the full commitment of the entire Polatis management team as we continue to develop the company."
Gerald Wesel, CEO of Polatis, explains: "We recently launched the 384x384 switch, the largest network switch available; in doing so, Polatis has confirmed its dominant position in the field of optical switches. Thanks to HUBER + SUHNER's global presence, size, and excellent reputation, we are now able to position our technology more broadly in the market. Strategically, Polatis and HUBER + SUHNER represent a perfect fit. This union of forces will be a decisive step for all of us."
