At the birth of the mobile telephone industry, the only startup selected by the FCC to demonstrate the feasibility of cellular was a company called Millicom.〔http://spencertraskco.com/news/mobiledevicessurpassworldpop/〕 In 1982, Kimberlin invested in and structured the first outside financing for Millicom, which helped the company form its joint venture called Racal–Millicom—renamed Vodafone Group plc.〔http://www.vodafone.co.uk/about-us/company-history/〕 By August 2000, Vodafone was the world’s largest communications firm and the 7th most valuable public company, with a peak market cap of $404 billion. Today, Vodafone serves more than 400 million mobile phone users globally.〔http://www.vodafone.com/content/index/media/vodafone-group-releases/2014/thirtieth_anniversary_uk_mobile_call.html〕
Kevin Kimberlin co-founded Ciena Corporation with Dr. David Huber to create the first dense wave division multiplexing (DWDM) system.〔http://www.forbes.com/asap/1998/0601/023_print.html〕〔http://spencertraskco.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/CASE-STUDY-Ciena-07.23.15-on-site.pdf〕〔http://www.nytimes.com/1997/03/03/business/fiber-optic-technology-draws-record-stock-value.html〕 It was powered by Ciena’s patented dual-stage optical amplifier,〔United States Patent #5696615; "Wavelength division multiplexed optical communication systems employing uniform gain optical amplifiers." (USPTO)〕 which George Gilder called "an invention comparable to the integrated circuit."〔http://massis.lcs.mit.edu/archives/george.gilder.essays/coming.of.the.fibersphere – MCI ID: 409-1174 "Into the Fibersphere" and ''Forbes'' magazine, "Dark Fiber, Dumb Network," George Gilder〕 As the driver of all high-capacity fiber communications networks around the world, DWDM enabled the explosive growth of the Internet and continues as its foundation today.〔IEEE Industrial Innovation Award: http://www.ciena.com/connect/blog/Ciena-CTO-Steve-Alexander-honored-by-IEEE.html〕
Prior to its public offering, Kimberlin was the sole general partner of Next Level Communications, a broadband access leader, 20% owned by Kimberlin LLC and 80% owned by General Instrument Corporation.〔http://www.bizjournals.com/philadelphia/stories/2000/02/28/focus2.html?page=4〕 Kimberlin guided Next Level through its IPO, achieving a market capitalization of $17 billion before it was acquired by Motorola in 2002.〔(Next Level Communications acquired by Motorola )〕
