Photonuum, Inc. was founded by Ron Fulton in 2001 with a simple but brilliant vision of the future: “a continuum of light.” He believes we are just starting to tap the potential of photonics and fiber optics as an enabler to enhancing the lives and protecting our most valuable resource, people.

As an entrepreneur, consultant and business leader, Mr. Fulton focuses on fiber optic and wireless technologies and the development of data, voice, video and telemetry network equipment, software, services and solutions. Fulton’s areas of expertise include fiber optics and photonics, defense-military and public safety systems, commercial wireless networks, the convergence of the Internet and mobile computing, and emergence of Internet-based broadband and information services for business and consumer markets. Recent focus and publications from Fulton deal with topics such as leveraging the telecommunications infrastructure to offer a nationwide CBRNE (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and High Explosive) anti-terrorist tracking and monitoring network, engineered photonic solutions for battlefield, airborne and shipboard platforms, delivering wireless data services to the enterprise, leveraging satellite communications, carrier strategies for next generation wireless services, and business and consumer demand for wireless and fiber optic connectivity. Previously, Mr. Fulton has held general management, technical sales, product management, market management, and systems engineering positions at early stage fiber optic start-ups, Fiber-Span LLC, Tyco Electronics/LDI, Ortel Corporation, ADC Telecommunications, Raytheon, Allied Signal and the U.S. Army. Mr. Fulton has extensive experience in photonics and fiber optics, optical networking and transmission, radio frequency (RF) network design and deployment, direction finding (DF)/signals intelligence (SIGINT)/electronic warfare (EW) technologies, fixed and wireless broadband networks and III-V optoelectronics.
