Mindr Honors Veterans and Military Families in Advance of Memorial Day by Reaffirming Hiring Commitment
"Our military families make tremendous sacrifices, and we recognize the unique skills and resilience they bring to the workforce," said Amanda Sedars, Chief Human Resources Officer of Mindr. "Our experience working with military families has been incredibly rewarding. Their diverse professional backgrounds, adaptability and strong work ethic consistently make them exceptional team members who embody our core values: Put People First, Drive Results, Win as a Team and Own it. We are proud to support this community not just through recognition, but through action by offering meaningful, flexible and career-building opportunities that help them thrive."
The company has successfully hired military members, veterans and their families, providing them with growth opportunities, and is committed to supporting active military members before, during and after future deployments.
Victoria Simmans, a Customer Care Specialist at Mindr, joined the U.S. Army Reserve right after high school because she was determined to make a difference. She discovered a profound sense of purpose and belonging in the military. For Simmans, the military was a close and loyal community that felt like family. It was there, amid the camaraderie and shared mission that she met the love of her life, her husband. Simmans served the country for eight and a half years before being tragically injured. Sustaining a long-term disability as a result, she was determined to find a role that gave her purpose and allowed her to continue making a difference but she struggled to find one within a company that would best support her. That all changed after receiving an offer from Mindr.
When asked about her experience working at the company, Simmans said, "Mindr has been a game-changer for me and has changed my life. Mindr made transitioning from military to civilian life easy. I wanted to be a part of a mission-driven company focused on saving lives – that's what we do here, and we do it as a team. I have had tremendous growth opportunities and was even promoted a few months after I started. I have never felt more seen, supported and allowed the flexibility and time-off needed to care for myself and my family. I encourage anyone who is a military member or veteran to apply here – go for it!"
Mindr is actively seeking to hire veterans and military families and is a proud member of the U.S. Department of Defense's Military Spouse Employment Partnership (MSEP). Mindr currently has 45 open positions in departments such as: Sales, Customer Service, Engineering and IT. Many of these roles offer remote options, helping meet the needs of the mobile military lifestyle.
The company offers its employees a comprehensive and highly competitive benefits package, including dental, health and vision insurance; a 401(k) plan; paid holidays and time off; ongoing professional training; and more.
Mindr encourages military spouses, military members and veterans seeking new opportunities to visit www.mindr.com/careers to explore openings and learn more about how we're building a workplace that honors and supports our military community year-round.

Optical Transport Market Grew 14 Percent in 2Q 2025, According to Dell'Oro Group
Disaggregated WDM Led the Growth at 35 Percent REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Aug. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a recently published report from Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the telecommunications, security, networks, and data center industries, the Optical Transport equipment market grew 14 percent year-over-year in 2Q 2025. This high growth rate was primarily attributed to the rising demand for disaggregated WDM and data center interconnect (DCI). "Following six quarters of soft sales in optical transport, it was great to see this market recover and post a strong double-digit growth rate," said Jimmy Yu, Vice President at Dell'Oro Group. "One area contributing to the strong growth for optical was the rising demand for disaggregated WDM, a concept that arose over a decade ago when both cloud providers and communication service providers wanted to have a more open, vendor-agnostic environment. One where a network operator had more choice in suppliers for transponders, optical line systems, and pluggable optics," added Yu. Additional highlights from the 2Q 2025 Optical Transport Quarterly Report: The Optical Transport market growth was due to higher year-over-year (Y/Y) revenue for both optical transport systems and ZR/ZR+ optical plugs for IPoDWDM. The Disaggregated WDM market outperformed expectations in the quarter, growing nearly 35 percent Y/Y due to strong demand across all of the individual technology segments: transponder units, optical line systems (OLS), and ZR/ZR+ optics for IPoDWDM. Communication service provider spending returned to growth in the quarter, increasing slightly from the same period a year ago. Cloud providers, once again, drove the vast majority of the optical revenue growth in the quarter: direct cloud provider purchases of WDM systems grew 60 percent Y/Y. The top six vendors in the quarter, ranked by revenue share, were Huawei, Ciena, Nokia, ZTE, FiberHome, and Cisco. About the ReportThe Dell'Oro Group Optical Transport Quarterly Report offers complete, in-depth coverage of the market with tables covering manufacturers' revenue, average selling prices, and unit shipments (by speed up to 1.6 Tbps). The report tracks DWDM long haul, WDM metro, multiservice multiplexers (SONET/SDH), data center interconnect (metro and long haul), disaggregated WDM systems, and IPoDWDM ZR/ZR+ Optics.

Ukraine's answer to Russia's drone blitz
Shortly before dawn on July 9, Russia had fired 728 drones and 13 missiles into Ukraine, making it the largest Russian aerial bombardment of the war so far. The previous record had been set on July 4, and the one before that five days earlier. Russia's 'swarm' warfare, enabled by its ability to mass-produce low-cost, long-range attack drones, has exhausted and overwhelmed Ukraine's air defences, allowing targets to now be hit three times the typical rate. With its stocks of Western air defence missiles depleted and Russia's Iranian-designed Shahed-type drones flying faster, higher and with greater precision, Ukraine has become increasingly vulnerable. Credit: X / @wartranslated Volodymyr Zelensky had set a target by the end of July for Ukraine to produce 1,000 interceptor drones a month and blunt Russia's relentless drone offensive. The Ukrainian president bet big, estimating it would cost £4.4bn to ramp up production and train more pilots. The maths makes sense. It costs £3m to fire an interceptor missile from a US-made Patriot system – or £400,000 for those from the European IRSI-T – to knock out a £50,000 Shahed or possibly even a cheap decoy. Ukraine's new anti-aircraft drones, however, cost as little as £1,000 to £4,000. Depending on the interceptor, they either smash into their target, blow up next to it or shoot it down. Those being produced now have to be able to hunt the newer Shahed variants that are flying out of range of truck-mounted machine gun units, a core pillar of Ukraine's air defence. Kyiv already has a huge domestic drone industry manufacturing cheap but highly effective unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) en masse and quickly adapting them to the evolving aerial battlefield. To domestically produce a low-cost air shield will depend on time, money and whether it can defend against newer Russian drones. In July, Ukraine's military signed a major deal with Swift Beat, a company belonging to Eric Schmidt, the former Google chief executive, to mass-produce 'hundreds of thousands' of AI-driven drones. Sources say the company's three drones – kept secret for security reasons – are responsible for 90 per cent of Shahed interceptions. One of Ukraine's newest domestically-produced interceptors is the Bagnet (Bayonet) UAV, which is being lauded as the 'Shahed killer'. Purpose-built to down the lethal munitions, it can match the increased speeds of the Shahed (up to 150mph), fly at altitudes of 16,500ft with a 10-mile range. It is currently being used by several Ukrainians on the frontline, with confirmed successes. Five defence companies are now mass producing it for the military. Wild Hornets, a Ukrainian UAV manufacturer, this month showed its 'Sting' interceptor drone flying at speeds of up to 195mph, making it one of the fastest first-person-view drones on the market. Less than a year ago, the Sting flew at half the speed. Now, pilots have used the $2,500 (£1,860) model to down at least 100 Shaheds, the company said. It's a small contribution in the fight against Russia's drone attacks – it launched 6,129 Shahed-type drones in July alone, 14 times the amount launched in July 2024. 'Ukrainians feel they have found the technical solution to Russia's exponential increase in production of Shahed-type drones, but now it is a matter of scaling it up,' John Hardie, deputy director of the Russia programme at the Foundation for Defence of Democracies, told The Telegraph. He said Kyiv had already proved it was up to the task, given its success in mass-producing interceptor drones to target Russian reconnaissance drones last year, which helped to blind Moscow's eyes in the sky. 'I was sceptical it could be done, but it could,' he said. The results are likely to be seen in 'six months to a year'. It's not as simple as producing drones – the pilots need to be trained and radar stations built. 'And then comes the adaptations,' he said. And yet the aerial battlefield changes fast. Ukraine has the edge now – but how long this lasts is unclear, said Mr Hardie. Some of Russia's attack drones are starting to show an ability to counter Ukraine's new interceptors. It's a cat and mouse game, with both sides locked in a technological race to gain the edge in a sky filled with drones. 'The dance never really stops,' he added. Valerii Riabykh, a Ukrainian weapons expert and the editor of Defence Express, said: 'Frankly speaking, it should take some time for Ukraine to have enough interceptor drones to combine them in an efficient system to counteract enemy suicide drones.' The state is also still playing catch-up. Ukrainian charities that crowdfund weapons through civilian donations have been supplying military units with interceptor drones for almost a year. Taras Tymochko, a consultant from one of the largest of them, Come Back Alive, said that they now supply interceptors to 90 units and that over 3,000 Russian drones have been downed as a result, including 100 Shaheds. He told The Telegraph: 'The Shaheds became the main weapon of terror attacks on our civil population. We needed to increase our capabilities'. Mr Tymochko estimates the value of downed Russian drones at $195m (£145m), over a dozen times more than the cost of the drones and equipment handed over under the project. 'When it comes to cost, it cannot be compared,' he said. But interceptor drones are no silver bullet to sealing the holes in Kyiv's air defences. The small propeller-powered interceptor drones are also no match for Russian missiles, or for its new jet-powered Shahed-type Geran-3 drones, which can fly at up to 500mph and are difficult to catch and being launched in increasing numbers. It also does not solve the issue of Russia's ability to launch cheap mass attacks of drones and decoys all across Ukraine at once as there are simply not enough Ukrainian drone pilots to target them all. 'They will change the future of air defence, but they won't replace conventional systems, they will compliment them,' he said. That future is coming – just not yet.
