History of Legacy Fiberoptics
Legacy Fiberoptics was formed in 2008 by Ken Stewart and a group of former employees from Laser Precision, GN Nettest, and Anritsu. Their goal was to continue providing quality service and support to thousands of customers after these fiber optic facilities were downsized or closed. In 2022, Gabriella Marchesani purchased Legacy Fiberoptics, Inc., expanding the company’s services and continuing its excellence in providing service to the telecommunications industry.
But the history of Legacy Fiberoptics spans decades before our formation, building upon a remarkable heritage of telecommunications providers around the world. The leaders shaping Legacy Fiberoptics today have been key players in the unfolding of the industry for decades. This level of experience and expertise is what enables our team to offer unmatched service and support to our customers.
