FIBEROPTIC Automation Expo Debuts at Assembly Technology Expo
NORWALK, Conn. -- FIBEROPTIC Automation Expo (FAE) makes its debut as the only exhibition and conference dedicated to providing the fiber-optic component-manufacturing industry with access to the automation solutions and assembly techniques needed to increase production and keep in step with industry demand. FIBEROPTIC Automation Expo will be co-located with Assembly Technology Expo (ATExpo) from October 2-4, 2001, at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, Rosemont, Ill.
Jeff D. Montgomery, chairman and founder of ElectroniCast, will present a keynote address on October 3. Montgomery's presentation on the "Next Decade of Fiber-Optic Component Automated Assembly, Packaging and Testing" will discuss how global communication transport will grow over the next decade. A major factor in this surge will be the rapidly decreasing cost of fiber-optic components enabled by the automation of assembly, packaging and testing, supported by the major quantity expansion and by designing for automation.
