Infinera Corporation
A maker of optical networking equipment, software, and services that carries data across fiber networks as pulses of light. It pioneered photonic integrated circuits, packing many optical parts onto a single chip. Founded in 2000 as Zepton Networks by Drew Perkins, Jagdeep Singh, and David Welch, the company later renamed itself Infinera as a nod to "infinite" capacity, and joined Nokia in 2025.
