SAN JOSE, Calif., June 15 /PRNewswire/ -- SDL, Inc. (Nasdaq: SDLI) has completed an
agreement with SIEMENS Information and Communication Networks Group to supply high-speed
optical modulators for SIEMENS' 10 Gb/s dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM)
transmission systems. Optical modulators are key components used in long distance fiber optic
networks to encode a high-speed data stream on laser light transmitted in these networks. The use
of high-speed optical modulators is expected to increase rapidly to support the deployment of fiber
optic networks operating at 10 Gb/s. This agreement supports SIEMENS' 10 Gb/s DWDM
deployment plan for years 2000 and 2001.
The optical modulators are manufactured by SDL Integrated Optics, Ltd., a subsidiary of SDL
Inc., located in the U.K. SDL has been working closely with SIEMENS during the past year to
supply high-speed modulators for the qualification and successful production ramp of their 10 Gb/s
DWDM fiber optic transmission system. According to Michael Murphy, Marketing Manager of
SDL Integrated Optics, "This agreement results from a close working relationship with SIEMENS,
our technical expertise in high speed modulators, and our ability to qualify and quickly ramp
production of these high performance products. SIEMENS is a key player in this market segment
and we are delighted to be associated with them. We believe the cooperation between the two
companies is key to enable rapid deployment of new bandwidth solutions for voice, data and
Internet traffic."
Harald Bachmann, Vice President of Purchasing, SIEMENS, stated, "Building a close relationship
on a preferred supplier strategy is one of the key factors for our success in the worldwide
transmission market. SDL has shown that with the availability of new technologies, as well as the
outstanding support covering our technical and logistical needs, they are one of our major suppliers
for optical components. SDL will have a key role in supplying a range of their products for
