IRVINE, Calif., July 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Halo Technology Group ("Halo" or "Halo Group"), the world's largest independent manufacturer of fiber optic transceivers and high-speed cabling, announced today it has completed two acquisitions to broaden its product portfolio and strengthen its global presence.
