Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) was awarded the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers� (IEEE) prestigious 2009 IEEE
Corporate Innovation Recognition. The award recognizes the
company�s sustained, outstanding contributions to optical fiber
technology and, in particular, the recent development of its highly
flexible fiber, Corning� ClearCurve� single-mode optical fiber.
Dr. Waguih S. Ishak, division vice president and director of the
Corning West Technology Center, received the award on behalf of the
company at the IEEE Awards Ceremony on June 25, in Los Angeles.
The IEEE Corporate Innovation Recognition is presented for
outstanding and exemplary contributions in the field of electro
technology by an industrial entity, governmental or academic
organization, or other corporate body. Past recipients of the IEEE
Corporate Innovation award include: Apple Corporation, Intel
Corporation, Toyota Motor Corporation, Texas Instruments, Hewlett
Packard, Research in Motion, and Microsoft Corporation.
�We are honored to be recognized with IEEE�s prominent
innovation award,� said Martin J. Curran, senior vice president and
general manager, Corning Optical Fiber. �Nearly 40 years ago,
Corning invented the first low-loss optical fiber, which helped
launch the communications age. We continued to innovate over the
past four decades and provide products and technology that today
make up the backbone of telecommunications networks around the
globe. Most recently, we introduced a family of revolutionary,
ultra-bendable optical fibers, ClearCurve single-mode and multimode
fibers, which will help bring fiber closer to the user.�
Corning ClearCurve single-mode optical fiber is an
ultra-bendable fiber that can be handled like copper cables, but
provides the near limitless bandwidth of optical fiber. ClearCurve
single-mode fiber is ideal for challenging fiber installation
environments, such as apartment buildings and high rises, because
it can be bent around tight corners and stapled without losing
signal. ClearCurve multimode fiber is the world�s first laser
optimized, high-bandwidth ultra-bendable multimode fiber. It can
withstand tight bends and challenging cable routes making it ideal
for data centers and enterprise networks.
