Disruptive technology business Conjunct has drummed up £300,000 of funding in order to continue the development of its high speed optical communications offering.
The company has received backing from Braveheart, the AIM-listed technology company, as well as LINC Scotland and Scottish Enterprise’s Co-Investment Fund.
Founded in 2003, as a start-up from Heriot-Watt University, the company was established to commercialise disruptive technology for short range, high-speed optical communications.
It has developed technology specifically for the datacoms market, the size of which has typically been restricted due to the high cost and specification of components.
However, Conjunct’s ‘Fibre-Lyte’ technology aims to offer a superior alternative to existing copper-based systems.
This funding will enable Conjunct to focus on fully developing its offering which it plans to license to of industrial clients and for it to be embedded in value added products.
Geoffrey Thomson, chief executive of Braveheart, said: “Conjunct has designed products, which will provide significant benefits to connections for optical communications across the datacoms market.
“Over the past five years the company has built an impressive board of advisers and secured initial early stage funding.
“We are pleased to be supporting them through this, the next stage in their growth and development.”
