1Finity’s Francois Moore addresses the optical and wireless landscape

1Finity, which houses Fujitsu’s optical and wireless operations, recently began operating under its new name and brand identity. As Fujitsu announced in April, 1Finity consolidates Fujitsu’s global network-related organizations under one entity, enabling what the company said will be greater autonomy and flexibility.

1Finity, which will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Fujitsu, will continue to deliver a complete portfolio of optical and wireless hardware, software and services. 

We recently caught up with François Moore, Optical Architect and Advisor for 1Finity, to discuss new optical and wireless opportunities and how the new brand is resonating with customers.
