Telecommunication
Optical communication is an advanced technology that meets the needs of the communication age, Furukawa Electric provides diversified support for information-oriented society.
We are living in an age of global communication. Currently, the Internet Links the entire world, allowing information from overseas to be obtained in real time, not only in offices but also at home. In this advanced information-oriented society, optical communication systems are a key technology for enabling people to access important information easily. Furukawa Electric is firmly supporting an ideal base for communication by providing various technologies and products that realize the "FTTH" project, in which optical fiber networks are provided to homes.
Electronics
Ever-evolving Semiconductors and their Peripheral Technologies Amplify
New Possibilities for the Electronics Industry.
Semiconductors are the basis on which electronic products are continually decreasing in size, and increasing in functional capability at a rapid pace. In LSIs, several hundred thousand to tens of millions of electronic components are incorporated on a chip in an area of several square mm, to process large amounts of information. In the field of semiconductors, Furukawa Electric has developed many products ranging from compound semiconductors to complete devices. It has also provided various other products that are densely mounted in the periphery of semiconductors; reflow ovens for mounting these products; and heat pipes essential for cooling microprocessors. Each of these products is backed by reliable, established technologies.
