Nokia announced on Wednesday that it’s buying privately held optical networking company Elenion Technologies, but didn’t say how much it was paying.
Elenion designs and develops integrated system-on-chip optical engines for telecom, data center and networking applications. Nokia is buying Elenion to beef up its optical networking business and broaden its portfolio to telecom operators.
New York City-based Elenion makes integrated, low-cost silicon photonics technologies for short-reach and high-performance optical interfaces.
