TELW | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- ADC, a provider of wireline, wireless, broadcast, and enterprise networks, has announced that Tyco Electronics has taken a license to certain ADC patents directed to fiber-to-the-premises technology.

The licensing agreement between the two fiber optic connectivity market leaders settles existing litigation between the companies. ADC's patents relate to fiber distribution hubs, optical splitter modules and fiber drop terminals that are widely deployed in the fiber-to-the-premises (FTTX) environment.

For ADC, the license provides acknowledgment of the company's FTTX patent portfolio by Tyco.

Jaxon Lang, vice president of global connectivity solutions Americas for ADC, said: "ADC has an industry standard license available to our FTTX portfolio. With Tyco Electronics agreeing to take a license to ADC's portfolio, it provides recognition of the value of our portfolio by companies making fiber distribution hubs and fiber drop terminals for the FTTX market."
