DragonWave was first listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange in 2007,[4] and then listed on the NASDAQ exchange in 2009.[5]
In 2010, DragonWave acquired Axerra Networks, an Israeli company that develops circuit emulation and service emulation solutions over packet access networks for mobile backhaul and business service delivery.[6]
In 2011 DragonWave introduced two products, the Avenue[7] and Horizon Compact+.[8]
In 2012, DragonWave acquired Nokia Siemens Networks' microwave transport business, rebranding the NSN Flexipacket products as the DragonWave Harmony family.[9] Per that transaction, DragonWave also became a preferred supplier to Nokia Siemens Networks and continues to provide the Flexipacket/Harmony products to the company.[10]
