JDS Uniphase Corporation announced that MTN Uganda has selected its ariesoGEO platform and GEOperformance application to improve network quality and customer experience. MTN Uganda operates the country's multi-vendor, multi-technology network. JDSU's customer-centric ariesoGEO solution will support MTN Uganda's GSM and UMTS networks, and is ready to support the rollout of its LTE network that was launched on April 25, 2013. MTN Uganda has become the first operator in Uganda, and one of the very first in the region to successfully launch its 4G LTE network. ariesoGEO uses location intelligence to transform RAN planning and performance engineering. This increases operational efficiency and improves network performance, enhancing the customer experience.

JDS Uniphase Corporation bolstered its diode portfolio by introducing two high-performance lasers that bring new efficiencies to the manufacturing and life sciences markets. These newest innovations continue JDSU's heritage of delivering reliable, high-performance commercial laser solutions that consistently lead the market. First, JDSU introduced its ST Series Fiber Laser Pump featuring the brightest fiber-coupled diode laser performance available in the industry. This design, powered by JDSU's diode laser chip, offers a class-leading 140 Watts of output power within a 106.5um core that will accelerate the adoption of fiber lasers by machine-tool makers and speed metal cutting and shaping manufacturing processes. The ultra-compact ST Series is a highly integrated device which reduces the number of components needed to produce a kilowatt-class fiber laser resulting in simpler, lower cost and more robust design alternatives. The ST Series builds on JDSU's previous generation pump lasers' reputation for industry-best reliability. The solution has been rigorously tested for endurance and power stability to withstand prolonged use in manufacturing settings. This level of quality ensures manufacturers will spend more time producing metal products to meet their ongoing demands. JDSU also introduced its FCD561 Series, the newest addition to its frequency converted diode (FCD) family of continuous-wave lasers for the Life Sciences market. Commonly used in the health services industry to identify health disorders in both clinical and research environments, flow cytometer instruments use laser light sources of specific wavelengths to identify characteristics of cells, proteins, and other particles. FCD561 allows for targeted fluorescent pumping of specific fluorophores at their ideal absorption band, minimizing the amount of needed incident laser power and reducing the potential for pumping of adjacent fluorophores within a sample. This process increases the overall sensitivity of flow cytometers resulting in statistically improved results and the ability to observe population data that may not have been resolvable previously. Using an efficient 561 nm solution, the FCD561 brings the reliability and efficiency needed to allow JDSU's bioinstrumentation customers to pump yellow-green fluorophores currently not covered by more common direct-diode laser systems or lesser performing alternate laser technologies. This new solution features 30mW free-space and fiber-delivered packages to meet the most demanding integration needs.
