Founded in 1999, LUXNET was established by a team of industry veterans including Honorary Chairman Hsing Hsien Kung, a prominent figure in the photonics industry who also co-founded InnoLight Technology. The current executive leadership team is headed by Chairman Isabella Chien (Huei Ming Chien) and CEO Andrew Lin (Ta Tsung Lin), who transitioned from Vice President to lead the company’s strategic expansion into high-speed optical engines.
