 PROFILE
Agere has the gear to get optical networks in gear. Agere (pronounced a-GEAR) Systems, formerly Lucent's Microelectronics Group, offers integrated circuits (75% of sales) and optoelectronics devices used in numerous network protocols and deployed across various portions of optical networks. Agere has formed alliances with Motorola to develop digital signal processor (DSP) products, and with chip foundry Chartered Semiconductor to develop new manufacturing techniques. Lucent (20% of sales) remains its top customer; other major clients include Apple and Cisco. Lucent, which spun off Agere in 2001, owns 63% of the company and controls 87% of its voting power. The company plans to reduce its staff by a quarter to cut costs.
