 PROFILE
Porta Systems keeps telephone networks safe and healthy. Nearly 45% of Porta's sales come from its Operations Support Systems division, which makes systems for automating network operation, maintenance, testing, and trouble management. The company's Connection and Protection division (40% of sales) makes surge protectors and systems for connecting copper lines to switching equipment. Porta's Signal Processing division targets defense markets with its data bus systems and transformers. The company is looking to sell one or more of its divisions in order to get out from under unwieldy debts. Fujitsu accounts for nearly 25% of sales, and British Telecom accounts for 10%; nearly 65% of sales come from outside the US.
