About

Somera Communications was a telecommunications equipment lifecycle management company founded in 1995 and headquartered in Coppell, Texas.

Backed by Summit Partners, Somera grew to roughly 2,100 employees and raised $51.75 million in funding before its telecom equipment business was acquired in the mid-2000s.
