Experts in next generation test equipment
Created on 1998, APEX Technologies is located in the south of
Paris in France. For over 15 years, APEX Technologies has focused on
developing and manufacturing innovative ultra high performance test
equipment intended for fiber optic telecommunications research. Since
introducing the world’s first commercially available ultra high resolution
optical spectrum analyzer, APEX Technologies has also been dedicatedto the continued development of the optical measurement area. Our
experience means we know that innovations never cease, and we are
driven by the “knowledge is power” policy in order to stay at the top of theadvanced technology.
