Israeli fiber company Teramount Today, it announced the completion of a $ 50 million financing round, led by the new investor Koch Technologies (KDT). The current investors Grove Ventures and new strategic investors, including AMD Ventures, Hitachi Ventures, Samsung Catalyst Fund and Wistron, also participated in the tour. Jerusalem -based Teramount has developed links to fiber to the chip of Amnesty International and advanced data and computing centers,
To meet the escalating performance requirements and energy requirements, the industry must adopt advanced visual connections to pass the data between the components of the account and networks. TERAMOUNT makes this possible by solving TERAVERSE: a separate service connector that connects the optical fibers coming from outside the pregnant woman to the optical silicone chips within the bottled optical systems (CPO).
TERAMOUNT was founded by the CEO Hesham Taha and CTO Avi ISRAEL. Taha is an extraordinary character on the Israeli technical scene. He did not grow up in a distinguished suburb in the Greater Tel Aviv or served in the IDF 8200 intelligence unit. His father is a building worker and his mother is a housewife.
He recalls, “I did not communicate with many topics in the school, but I felt a special relationship with physics. Although he graduated with a high school diploma in physics, he went to work like many in the village in construction, most of them in the Sharon region – a hard work that participated in long trips in every direction.” But physics attracted me. “
Although from the north, he was not registered in the technology in Haifa, but at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem due to gravity in applied physics and the institute specializes in combining physics and mathematics. Studies were difficult and difficult for him, mainly due to the language barrier and the need to express itself in the Hebrew language at a high level.
He says: “I was the first to go to study at the university, but then, I encouraged my three younger brothers to register, and some have already completed a master’s and doctorate degree.”
Taha continued his studies in applied physics to a doctorate, but he had difficulty finding work outside the academic circles. “I looked at many places, but I always felt that there was a language and cultural barrier, and people who are not like me, and there was always there in the background. They do not say that, you only get a negative answer to Kukoni:“ We are sorry. Days
Teramount, located in Har Hotzvim, Jerusalem, is currently employing 40 people, at least eight of them from Arab society, and some of them are neighborhoods in East Jerusalem. “There is a different landscape here from the natural scene of high Israeli technology,” says Taha. “People who come here to conduct work interviews from the east of the city feel a different feeling that they do not get other companies, from a person close to them and know how to speak their language. The fact that the company has the founders of both countries that create a place that may not solve the problems of the Middle East, but it brings people from different backgrounds in solving a problem in the field of data, spreading heat, and heat continues.”
“The visual links are important components for the future of Amnesty International’s infrastructure, and Teramount is pleased to be a major supplier of these solutions. We have been strongly affected by the position that Teramount created in the market and its partnerships with the main industry players,” says KDT ISRAEL ISAAC Sigron.
Teramount will enable its team to expand and increase production, before the market is adopted for CPO (common packed optics).
