MRV is a long-standing company with nearly three decades of experience. MRV has passed many cycles of technology and market changes over this period, creating innovative solutions to align with market trends and technology evolution. When other companies disappeared, MRV adapted like a “chameleon” that survived the brutal environment of the market, exploring new technologies to develop market-driven solutions. MRV’s core experience in packet and optical technologies is the cornerstone of network power. Experience matters.

MRV was one of the first companies to develop unique networking solutions based on convergence of packet and optical technologies. The company started as an optical components developer, and over the years expanded to subsystems and carrier-grade packet optical solutions. MRV has led the optical communications market with many creative first innovations:
Industry-first Fast and Gigabit Ethernet switches in the mid-nineties, first carrier-grade Ethernet over optical technologies in 1997, and industry first Linux-based router in 1999. In 2007 the company introduced the industry’s first 10G Network Interface Device (NID), and later the first 100G NID.
