Industry Highlight: Communications

The Market

Lumex has been supporting the full range of communications companies throughout the world for the last 30 years.  Our customers are the global leaders and technology innovators of their market segments. Communications companies rely on Lumex to be able to supply a full breadth of optoelectronics and displays  as well as identify opportunities to create feature rich, high value solutions. Because use of optoelectronics is expanding rapidly in the communications market, customers are also looking for a single supplier partner like Lumex to ease the burden of sourcing multiple vendors. Lumex recognizes that there are many niches within the communications market that have different requirements. Some of Lumex’s focus niches within communications include:

• Network Routing Equipment

• Network Security Equipment

• Graphic Processing Units

• Computer Equipment

• Storage Area Network Equipment

• Enterprise Servers

• Small to Medium Business Phone Systems

• Enterprise Phone Systems

• Microwave, optic and WiMAX Equipment

• Video Conferencing Equipment

Lumex is Customer Driven

Whether we are supporting standard SMT and through hole LEDs or working on a fully integrated solution, our engineering design team is focused on ensuring that the end product being designed  fits the customer needs for the application, versus bending a product design to meet the components available. This means that we are always engaged with our customers to fine tune our offering and designs to meet their needs. We believe that design collaboration has consistently offered the best results for meeting the demands in the industrial controls environment and the increasing complexity of communications equipment designs. Communications equipment design engineers are looking for rugged, smarter, faster and higher value solutions which is what Lumex has been delivering since our inception.

The Technology

By partnering with a wide range of industrial control companies over many decades, Lumex has become a leader in bringing new optoelectronic and display technology specifically designed for this market. We have created LED and LCD solutions that allow our customers to take their applications to the next level in performance and endurance. Our standard product families include:

• High Power LEDs

• SMT LEDs

• Through hole LEDs

• Infrared Devices

• LED Displays

• LED Arrays

• LED Backlights

• Monochromatic LCDs

• TFT Capacitive Touch LCDs

Standard LED and LCD display offerings can be the simple solution to what is often the greatest challenge to the most visible and important part of the product; the user interface. Increasingly, however, design engineers are finding that many standard, off-the-shelf display technologies do not meet all of their needs, and recognize that a total engineered solution will offer the best result for more complex design needs and enriched feature options. Lumex specializes in adding value to a customer design by creating such a solution.

The Value Proposition

Why do communications companies choose Lumex? Because Lumex has been supporting industrial controls with leading technology longer and more consistently than anyone else in the industry across the broadest range of products. Lumex can be the single supplier for both standard off the shelf products as well as fully integrated engineered solutions. The benefits of having Lumex as a supplier partner are:

• Breadth of products means reduced number of vendors

• Leveraging Lumex’s design expertise reduces your engineering time

• Testing multiple interacting systems means faster time to market

• The newest technology means the most feature enhanced, high performance industrial controls solutions on the market
