Optical Access, Inc.
 PROFILE
Lasers, baby, lasers. Optical Access provides optical wireless products that transmit data directly through the atmosphere. Unlike wireless radio-frequency (RF) devices, the company's TereScope and OptiSwitch products employ laser signals, providing virtually unlimited bandwidth, plus an additional automatic RF backup for uninterrupted transmission. Although the technology has traditionally been used in local-area networks, the company hopes to provide an efficient "last mile" alternative to copper and fiber-optic lines. Parent company MRV Communications is contributing its optical assets (as well as recent acquisitions Jolt Limited and AstroTerra Corp.) to Optical Access, and will keep an 80% stake in the company.
