Welcome to the January 2023 edition of the OPTOKON newsletter. This newsletter is the first of the year as we return from the festive holidays and look forward to what 2023 has in store for us. As is tradition, there is a New Year message from the General Director of OPTOKON, Jiří Štefl.

Welcome to the July 2022 edition of the OPTOKON newsletter. This edition features an article by Jiří Štefl, the General Director of the OPTOKON Group, on how the Group is planning for Industry 4.0 (the fourth industrial revolution) in terms of its cyber-physical transition.

Welcome to the April 2022 edition of the OPTOKON newsletter. The theme of this edition is innovation, which is reflected in three articles focusing on the different aspects that comprise the new DOS^® system and its implementation in the new Data Centers.

The New Data Center DATOVÉ CENTRUM VYSOČINA, located adjacent to OPTOKON Headquarters in Jihlava, is currently in the final stages of completion before the official opening later this year.

The OPTOKON Group with its headquarters in the Czech Republic and SAMM Teknoloji of Turkey are pleased to announce a strategic partnership for the fiber optic based distributed acoustic sensing system FOTAS.

OFC 2026 in Los Angeles proved to be a landmark event for OPTOKON, representing a highly successful milestone and a premier opportunity to further solidify our strategic presence within the North American market. As one of the largest and most influential international gatherings in the global optical communications industry, the exhibition provided an unparalleled platform for our team to engage with a diverse range of new customers, industry leaders, and potential partners from across the United States, Canada, and Japan.

OPTOKON is heading to the premier event in optical networking and communications. We are excited to announce our participation in the OFC 2026 Exhibition, taking place from March 17 to 19 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. As the industry moves toward faster and more reliable data transmission, OPTOKON remains at the forefront of innovation. We invite all attendees, partners, and industry professionals to visit us at Booth #4678 to explore our latest technology and discuss the expanding presence of OPTOKON NORTH AMERICA.

The World Defense Show is currently in full swing, and the energy across the venue is remarkable. The halls are consistently packed, and the interest in real-world, deployable technology has been overwhelming. Located within the Saudi Arabian Pavilion, our booth has remained a focal point of activity, drawing a massive influx of visitors every single day.

We are pleased to announce our participation in the World Defense Show 2026, held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This premier international event serves as a significant platform for global defense integration, bringing together industry leaders, government officials, and military delegations to explore the future of security across land, air, sea, space, and security domains.

During Intersec 2026 in Dubai, OPTOKON met with a wide range of new and long-standing partners, with the shared objective of strengthening cooperation not only within the defense market, but also across other areas where combining expertise and long-term projects brings clear mutual benefits.

At OPTOKON, we are proud to present the OFT-4212-MCMU, a state-of-the-art connector assembly test station designed to elevate your optical testing capabilities. Built with advanced features, this innovative solution provides precision, reliability, and efficiency in one compact system.

We’re excited to unveil the BOUNCER-FO drone, developed in collaboration with ADT Aviation and Defence Technologies Inc. Designed with OPTOKON’s exclusive fiber optic technology, this UAV sets a new standard for secure, long-range performance in even the most challenging environments.
