Eblana Phototonics secures funding

Eblana Photonics, a developer of high performance laser components, has announced new funding that brings its total investment to €3.6m in just over one year.

Eblana is a spin out from Trinity College Dublin and its investors include National Microelectronics Research Centre, Enterprise Ireland and TCD itself. ACT Venture Capital and Enterprise Ireland are providing the new funding. The actual size of the latest funding is not disclosed.

The company's products enable the provision of high bandwidth communication services over fibre-optic cable to business and consumer markets.

"With this latest funding we will begin moving our products from development into manufacturing and onward into the market. These products will allow communications service providers to economically deliver services such as downstreamed video, interactive videoconferencing and video telephony and other new applications that we can barely imagine today," said CEO Jame's O'Gorman.

Eblana will grow its core team over the next six months with a focus on the recruitment of engineering, product development and sales/marketing staff.
