Eutelsat was originally set up in 1977 as an intergovernmental organisation (IGO) to develop and operate a satellite-based telecommunications infrastructure for Europe.Eutelsat started operations 20 years ago with the launch of its first satellite in 1983, followed by a further 30 satellite launches, creating one of the leaders in the Fixed Satellite Services industry with a 14% global market share at the end of 2005 (source: Euroconsult 2006).Initially established to address satellite communications demand in Western Europe, Eutelsat rapidly developed its infrastructure to expand coverage to additional markets, such as Central and Eastern Europe in 1989, and the Middle East, the African continent, and large parts of Asia and the Americas from the 1990s.Eutelsat was the first satellite operator in Europe to broadcast television channels direct-to-home. It developed its premium neighbourhood of five HOT BIRD™ satellites in the mid-1990s to offer capacity that would be able to attract hundreds of channels to the same orbital location, appealing to widespread audiences for consumer satellite TV.

Gemfire Corporation combines an entrepreneurial atmosphere with an extensive technology base. Founded in 1995, Gemfire specializes in applying planar semi-conductor-type processing technology to create optical solutions for system integrators, through an innovative new family of high- performance telecom and specialty components. Currently, the company has primary operations in Livingston, Scotland (near Edinburgh), as well as aerospace support operations (and additional telecom manufacturing capabilities) in Fremont, California. The Gemfire PhotonIC™ optical circuit technology comprises a suite of materials, processing techniques and packaging methods that enable the integration of multiple optical functions on a single device. These capabilities result in a fundamental shift in the way that fiber optic components are manufactured. This large-scale, highly- integrated, planar processing capability enables higher functionality and performance, along with the ability to scale production as in the semiconductor industry. This integrated planar optics approach distinguishes Gemfire's products from traditional manual-assembly optical component manufacturers. The explosive growth of video over the Internet, and the ever-increasing reliance by companies and government agencies on high-speed global communication networks for voice and data, creates a surge in demand for optical data transport. Gemfire's approach is the best way to feed this growing demand for high-performance optical components.
