Capella develops wavelength selective switch (WSS) products — including its patented CRx® and WavePath® lines — that enable dynamic, remote reconfigurability with integrated optical channel monitoring for metro and long‑haul networks. Its WSS technology aims to reduce service provider CAPEX and OPEX and support applications such as VoIP, VoD, and video gaming. The company plans new product offerings and operational improvements as it expands to meet growing market demand in the ROADM space. Management intends to use recent funding to expand and strengthen Capella’s presence in the ROADM market, which industry research projects could grow to $1.8 billion over the next four years. Capella’s products target both ROADM and optical cross‑connect (OXC) deployments and emphasize simplifying network operations and planning.
