American Photonics (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. American Photonics, Inc. was a very early developer of LAN technologies based first in Brewster, NY, moving later to Brookfield Center, CT. American Photonics, Inc., also referred to as API, was founded in 1982 by James Walyus while he was employed by Exxon Optical Information Systems of Elmsford, NY. His intention was to create an organization that would develop leading-edge, yet commercially viable, optical communication technologies that could be sold into large potential markets. After some initial research in networking technologies, API was contracted by Interlan to develop an adjunct to its 10Base5 Ethernet transceivers and Network Interface Cards.
