Description Inneos began as a start-up called Blaze Network Products (Blaze) in 1998. Blaze invented a technology called CWDM that deployed multiple wavelengths of light on a single fiber strand to increase the speed and distance of fiber optic solutions. Then, Blaze focused on the video niche and became the leader in the video-over fiber market until 2006, when it was acquired by a large industrial conglomerate. In 2013, the large industrial conglomerate accepted a buy-back offer from the prior management team and Inneos, LLC was established. In 2017, Inneos acquired Zephyr Photonics, a US-based research and development company that specialized in highly robust VCSEL lasers and active optical cables (AOC) for military, aeronautical, and space applications. Combining the best of both companies, the new Inneos is a wholly US-based, vertically integrated maker of high-speed optical communications products targeting both Videocom and Datacom. The Company has deep technical expertise in multichannel optics, robust VCSELs, video transmission protocols, as well as high government security and quality certifications. In addition, Inneos has a highly automated optical manufacturing operation, which allows it to be cost competitive with overseas suppliers while manufacturing entirely in the United States.
