FIRECOMMS LICENSES OPTOLOCK™ PLUGLESS TRANSCEIVER TO COMOSS

Cork, Ireland — June 12, 2007 — Firecomms today announces that it has licensed its OptoLock™ interconnect technology to COMOSS Electronic Co. of Taiwan. OptoLock, which was originally introduced in Firecomms Fast Ethernet fiber optic plugless transceiver, is an easy to use, low-cost housing for instant termination of bare Plastic Optical Fiber (POF).

"As a leader in interconnect technology, COMOSS is positioned to expand the market for this new POF port," says Firecomms' CEO Declan O'Mahoney. "COMOSS is the first company to license the OptoLock concept for its products. Firecomms will continue to license this technology to any company that commits to use our transceivers in their products."

OptoLock can be used in Fast Ethernet hub ports directly as it is fully compatible with the IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet data communications standard. The RCLED (Resonant Cavity Light Emitting Diode) operates at 660+/- 10nm peak wavelength. This device is mechanically and electrically interchangeable with SMI (Small Media Interface) connectors enabled by Firecomms EDL300 transceivers, which are widely used.

COMOSS offers OptoLock as model number OLKDX. Says Stanley Tsai, CEO of COMOSS, “Combining Firecomms’ OptoLock device with COMOSS connector technology enables us to create very cost-effective transceiver products for the IPTV, consumer, and industrial fiber market."

Firecomms leads the development of devices to drive POF, a low-cost optical alternative to copper cabling. Due to its ease of use, large core tolerances, and low costs, POF is enjoying significant growth in a wide range of applications. Created for consumer, industrial, and automotive applications in which plastic fiber can be used more easily and at lower cost than copper or glass fiber, POF is now used in millions of small area networks, such as those in use in many car models, and is rapidly gaining ground in home network and point-to-point interconnection. The POF market is estimated to be worth over $1 billion per year by the end of 2008.
