Advantage Optics was established in 2005 by a team having decades of optical experience and with a focus on providing transparency for Federal Agencies in the way they specify and purchase optical interconnect solutions.
Federal IT budgets are under more pressure now than ever before. Bandwidth and performance requirements continue to increase for complex large-scale voice, video, and data applications while cost saving initiatives and security are key factors in choosing vendors. Advantage Optics has been shipping high volumes of the highest performing transceiver technology into some of the largest, most-demanding, Federal networks for many years. We provide industry-leading performance while delivering deep budget savings in optical interconnect equipment cost; reducing overall network equipment expenditures by as much as 25%.

Case Study
Government Changes Years of Buying Behavior Due To Transceiver Value
The U.S. Federal government plans for the long-term. When the government begins a major new initiative, the goal is to build infrastructure that will last for decades without obsolescence. This was certainly the goal for a major new networking initiative embarked upon by one of the branches of the military in early 2009. At that time, they were looking at their need for deploying next-generation communication and intelligence infrastructure that would carry them through the mid-21st century.
