Fall 1999
In 1995, technologies developed by University of Oregon physicist Thomas Mossberg became the basis of a new company, Templex Technology, Inc. Since that time the company, which develops innovative, high-bandwidth optical communications, has grown to about thirteen employees. It recently re-located to the Riverfront Research Park adjacent to the UO. The new facility will allow Templex staffing to nearly double in the next year or two.
On September 27, 1999, Templex announced that Intel Corporation has invested an undisclosed amount in the company. Templex intends to use the investment to further its product development, develop strategic partnerships, build company infrastructure, and create market awareness.
