CHICAGO, Jan. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Stratos International
(NASDAQ:STLW), a leader in RF and fiberoptic solutions for telecom,
enterprise, military and broadcast video markets, announced that
the company has been issued a US patent (US Patent No. 7,165,728)
for a new technology that utilizes RFID (Radio Frequency
Identification) for on-device storage of performance test
information for fiber optic connectors and components. The newly
patented technology involves the integration of an RFID
reader/writer into fiber optic test equipment, which will enable
the upload of measured test information to a transponder chip that
is embedded in, or attached to, the connector. The performance data
then resides with the transponder for the product lifetime and can
be retrieved by any Stratos RFID enabled patch panel system or
Stratos RFID reader. Data envisioned for this feature could include
validated test data of performance parameters, such as insertion
loss, back reflection and end-face geometry, as well as product
traceability information, such as measurement date, operator, and
test station identification. Stratos International, which markets
products under the familiar brand names of Stratos Optical
Technologies, Trompeter Electronics and Semflex, has a rich history
of product innovation including some broad-based pioneering work.
