“H.I.G. has been a very strong and a supportive partner through thick and thin, helping us to reposition ourselves and our technology to meet the needs of our customers. Instead of throwing in the towel during the telecom industry slump, H.I.G. stepped in and, using the original funding, helped us transform into a company that offers the most advanced physical security using unique fiber optic technology.  We are now an industry leader in this emerging sector.”
