The company recently announced the addition of Patrick Cardon as director of sales for Southern Europe. The announcement is the latest in a series of growth initiatives.


In a release, John Taylor, vice president of sales and marketing for LightPointe said that, “We’re excited to add Patrick to our team. It is a privilege to attract talent the caliber of Patrick. He is a consummate professional well-known by telecom carriers and enterprises. When he approached LightPointe and laid out an expansion plan for us in Southern Europe, it was clear that he would be an excellent addition. With Patrick based out of an office in France, and Michael Schulz based in Germany, we have the presence to provide unparalleled customer support.”

He continued, “At a time when some of our competitors in the U.S. and abroad have slowed their product introductions and growth due to the economy the past few years, LightPointe continues to expand with personnel additions and the broadest product offering of any FSO, hybrid-radio and 60/70/80 GHz millimeter wave manufacturer. With Patrick’s experience, customers ranging from 4G mobile/LTE (News - Alert) carriers to businesses and government agencies will receive excellent assistance in deploying backhaul technologies.”

Cardon was previously a director of sales for MRV Communications (News - Alert). He will support will France, Spain, Croatia, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Turkey and other regions of Southern Europe.

Cardon said that, “I have long admired LightPointe and have grown to respect its technology and people. I’ve already received tremendous interest in Southern Europe for LightPointe’s new HyBridge Series, which combines industry-leading, Gigabit Ethernet FSO technology with an integrated RF back-up for up to 99.999 percent availability, even in heavy snow and fog.”
