Sorry, there's a lot of pics but I've kept the image size as small as possible. There was just soooo much to see there.
Visited with the great company of Headflux - if you look REALLY carefully you can see him in one of the photos
It was at Nortel, Harlow that Charles K. Kao developed optical fibre data transmission.
Nortel's European headquarters are in Maidenhead, Berkshire, and the company has further UK sites in London, Harlow, Essex, Lanarkshire and Newtownabbey in Northern Ireland.
Founded in 1895 as the Northern Electric and Manufacturing Company, Nortel makes hi-tech hardware and software for phone companies. It provides networking solutions including fibreoptic technology.
Nortel suffered an accounting scandal in 2005 which led to the departure of 10 senior executives and a $2.5bn settlement of several class action lawsuits. Since then, the company has been striving to turn around its fortunes but faced heavy long-term debt.
Nortel blamed weak economic conditions for its predicament, although analysts said investors had simply lost confidence in the company.
The company finally closed in 2010
Thanks for looking...
