Langhorne, PA, USA – September 16, 2008 – Optellios, a leading developer and manufacturer of advanced fiber optic intrusion detection system and security management platform, announced today that it has filed claims against Future Fibre Technologies (FFT) in an action pending at the United States District Court in the Middle District of Florida.
