The merger is expected to allow the combined company to enter a new phase of cost leadership in fiber-to-the-home access market, supporting the transition to aggregated supply of GPON customer premise equipment (CPE). The merger will enable the combined company to leverage manufacturing volumes and yield savings through consolidation of its supply chain in China.

Gerald Wong, CEO of Cambridge Industries Group (CIG), said: A combined company brings a new independent supplier of GPON ONTs to market that is capable of delivering carrier-class products at CPE pricing levels.

Together, our two companies will be able to offer the most advanced ONTs in the industry, interoperable with more carriers than any other provider, and at extremely compelling price points, while still maintaining sufficient margins to ensure sustained profitability and maximum value for shareholders.
