Welcome to the March 2026 edition of the OPTOKON newsletter. This quarter, we highlight our strong start to the year with appearances at WDS in Saudi Arabia, OFC in the USA, BICSI, and Intersec, where we showcased our latest rugged technologies and continued expanding our global presence.

In today’s demanding technical environment, it is no longer enough to simply design a product. To succeed in real-world operation, it must demonstrate durability, reliability, and compliance with required standards and regulations. This is exactly where OPTOKON Testing Division can support you.

In the evolving landscape of autonomous defense, the reliability of a data link is determined by its weakest point. For Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) operating in unpredictable terrain, standard fiber optic components are often insufficient. To address these challenges, we have developed a fully integrated deployment system designed specifically for vehicle-mounted mobility and extreme environmental resilience.

The latest OPTOKON Newsletter is here as we wrap up the year and look ahead. In this Holiday Edition, we highlight key moments from 2025, including our participation at the Dubai Airshow, EDEX 2025 in Egypt, and the JobStart fair at VŠPJ, where we connected with future talent. We also reflect on our St. Nicholas Day celebration and other milestones that shaped the year.

OPTOKON has been nominated for the 2025 Czech Exporters Awards and has been selected as one of the finalists in the sixth year of this nationwide project. The program highlights successful Czech companies that excel in international markets and demonstrates the strength, innovation and resilience of domestic exporters.

We are pleased to announce that OPTOKON will be participating at DSA 2026, the Defence Services Asia Exhibition and Conference, taking place from 20 to 23 April 2026 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

We are pleased to announce that OPTOKON will be participating at FIDAE 2026, the International Air and Space Fair, taking place from April 7 to 12, 2026, in Santiago, Chile.

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.

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.
