On a mission to bring joy into the often-overlooked optical industry, Pair Eyewear also announces the opening of its second manufacturing facility in Irvine, California promising affordability and accessibility to customers

NEW YORK, June 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Pair Eyewear, the first direct-to-consumer customizable eyewear brand to reimagine the consumer experience for people with glasses, announces it is expanding its global footprint into the UK and Australia. After securing  $75 million in funding for its Series C in October, during which the brand revealed plans to enlarge its U.S.-based lens lab and in-house manufacturing facilities and to extend its customer reach globally through an international expansion, the Pair Eyewear has, just eight months later, undoubtedly entered its next phase of growth.

Pair Eyewear’s international expansion marks a milestone in revolutionizing the eyewear industry, aiming to redefine the lackluster consumer experience worldwide. With innovative collaborations and a personalized approach to curating eyewear wardrobes, Pair Eyewear introduces a unique concept previously unseen in both the UK and Australian optical markets.

As in the U.S., the company’s Top Frame and Base Frame collections will now be accessible via e-commerce in the UK and Australia, with free shipping and returns available on all orders.

“When Nathan and I started the brand, it was on the basis of providing people globally with eyewear as dynamic as you are. Our expansion to the UK and Australia is a significant step towards making this belief a reality on a global scale. We’re committed to providing affordable and accessible eyeglasses to communities worldwide,” said Pair Eyewear Co-CEO and Co-Founder Sophia Edelstein. “Our goal is to become a household name not only in the United States but internationally,” she added.

In addition to bringing a fresh look and business model to a legacy industry, Pair Eyewear is leading its industry thanks in part to a vertically integrated supply chain and automated manufacturing processes to reinvent the $140 billion eyewear industry. A second facility located in Irvine, California is now fully operational. Across all offices and facilities, the brand now employs a total of 185 people. Owning their manufacturing processes end-to-end allows Pair Eyewear to manufacture in a far more efficient and cost-effective way, which translates to more affordability, access for the customer, higher quality of product and expedited shipping times.

“As we have continued to expand our e-commerce presence into new markets, we look forward to continued growth for the business through global retailer partnerships and the continued escalation of Pair Eyewear’s integrated manufacturing capabilities,” said Pair Eyewear Co-CEO and Co-Founder Nathan Edelstein. “Our vertically integrated manufacturing capabilities are a core competency of the brand. Since launch, we have continually invested in research and development that has allowed the business to develop a family of patents around customizable technology, further pushing innovation in an outdated industry. We look forward to continuing this innovation on a global scale,” he added.

The company, which was co-founded in 2019 by Nathan Kondamuri and Sophia Edelstein who met as undergraduate students at Stanford University, provides the world’s first customizable glasses with an engaging digital experience, including prescription lenses. Pair Eyewear’s technology allows for “switchable” Top Frames that attach to a base pair of glasses and is recognized for its innovative take on bringing affordable personalization and creativity to the market. Pair Eyewear is proud to keep investing in research and development on the heels of both fully integrated U.S. manufacturing facilities.

CHENGDU, China, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Eoptolink Technology Inc., Ltd. (SZSE: 300502), a leading innovator and provider of advanced optical transceiver solutions, announces the release of its OSFP 1.6T DR8/DR8-2 and 2xFR4 transceivers enabling the next generation high bandwidth networks for AI/ML clusters and cloud datacenters.

Eoptolink 1.6T OSFP transceivers have 8 electrical host interfacing lanes and 8 optical lanes operating at 212.5Gb/s (106GB with PAM4). Equipped with the industry’s latest DSP, these modules support transmission distances of up to 2km without the need to regenerate the FEC. The 1.6T DR8 and DR8-2 modules comes with either one MPO-16 adapter for point-to-point (P2P) connections or two MPO-12 adapters for 2x800G breakout applications. The 1.6T 2xFR4 modules are designed with a dual duplex LC connector running with 2 pairs of fibers only, which could help users to save fiber resources compared to DR8 and DR8-2 versions.

The 1.6T DR8/DR8-2 and 2FR4 Portfolio consists of: – 

EOLO-13T-5H-XMX    OSFP 1.6T DR8, 1×1.6TbE, 500m, MPO-16
EOLO-13T-5H-XDX    OSFP 1.6T DR8, 2x800GbE, 500m, Dual MPO-12
EOLO-13T-02-XMX    OSFP 1.6T DR8-2, 1×1.6TbE, 2km, MPO-16
EOLO-13T-02-XDX     OSFP 1.6T DR8-2, 2x800GbE, 2km, Dual MPO-12
EOLO-16T-02-XXX     OSFP 1.6T 2FR4, 2x800GbE, 2km, Dual Duplex LC

Eoptolink OSFP 1.6T transceivers feature both EML and SiPh-based solutions, and testing has demonstrated excellent performance. “We are very proud of our optical and RF design teams, says Sean Davies, VP Sales, Eoptolink Technology Inc., Ltd. “Our 1.6T OSFP modules do not need an additional FEC on the optical side and this results in lower latency and power consumption of the modules simplifying the complete system and helping our AI and cloud customers in their work.”

TULUFAN, China, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On September 19, employees of State Grid Tulufan Electric Power Supply Company came to State Power Investment Zhongli Tenghui Qiquanhu Photovoltaic Power Station to provide comprehensive technical support and guidance for new energy enterprises.

Seven wind power and photovoltaic power generation enterprises, including Xinjiang Jize Power Generation Company in Tulufan, have obtained 6.035 million KWH of grid electricity by purchasing 6,035 “green certificates” to achieve “green electricity – green electricity” and achieve green energy use in the whole link of new energy power generation.

The green power certificate, referred to as “green certificate”, is the only certificate that identifies the production and consumption of renewable energy power. Promoting the all-green operation of new energy power generation is an important measure to promote the green consumption of renewable energy.

“Before, we were just ‘producers’ of green electricity. Now the buyers of green certificates have become green electricity consumers, and the production process is fully green.” Qiquan Lake photovoltaic power station inspection officer Forzati Dilishati said.

Since the launch of the green electricity and green certificate market, State Grid Tulufan Electric Power Supply Company has actively promoted green electricity trading, promoted the supply of green electricity and green certificates in multiple scenarios, promoted the rapid promotion and popularization of related services in Tulufan, and helped build a new power system.

In the first eight months of this year, the cumulative volume of green electricity transactions in Xinjiang reached 1.174 billion KWH, 93.83 times that of the whole year of 2022.
