Via DZS press room

Aug 20, 2020

Plano, Texas – DZS (NSDQ: DZSI), a leading enabler of the hyper-connected world, today announced the consolidation of its acquired brands under DZS and its new senior leadership team and organizational structure designed to accelerate globalization of its groundbreaking innovations. Additionally, the company outlined its going forward vision and strategy under the direction of newly appointed President and CEO Charlie Vogt, and unveiled a new DZS logo.

“I’ve never seen a market teeming with more opportunities than we are seeing right now with the confluence of 5G and next-generation fiber access technologies, the proliferation of IOT and cloud virtualization, and the transformation enabled by software defined networking and orchestration,” said Mr. Vogt. “Sitting squarely in the middle of this sea change is DZS, a company uniquely positioned to capitalize on the promise of these favorable technology trends, including the fixed and mobile broadband investments being made by Rural America supported by the $20 billion Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF) and the 5G stimulus programs globally. A market leader in next-generation broadband access technologies, and partnered with many of the world’s most innovative companies such as Rakuten and its disruptive, open vRAN 5G (virtualized Radio Access Network), DZS has the ingredients to revolutionize the broadband access and enterprise LAN markets.”

Technology Pillars

The ability for DZS to capture its expanding marketing opportunity is built on four technology pillars – 1) 5G transport and connectivity, 2) next-generation fiber access including 10gig PON, 3) passive optical LAN for enterprises, and 4) connected premises. Drawing upon innovation partnered with the most advanced broadband and 5G pioneers including LGU+, Korea Telecom, SK Broadband, Rakuten, Etisalat and Telefonica, DZS is accelerating its innovation and expertise into North America, Latin America and EMEA.
