What Liteway does
Liteway, Inc. is a privately held US designer and manufacturer of fiber optic communication products that transport electrical signals over fiber optic cables, headquartered in Hicksville, NY. The company operates three registered sub-brands — LuxLink (instrumentation, IRIG timing, high-frequency analog, digital data including RS-232/422/485/TTL/ECL/CAN Bus, and optical switches for relay/bypass/failover), LiteLink (contact closure, audio, voice intercoms, and legacy analog video), and MIDIExtender (MIDI and DMX signal extension). The firm also sells an accessory ecosystem comprising power supplies, rack mounting panels, fiber optic adapter panels, attenuators, alarm modules, DIN rail adapters, and video distribution/loss-detection equipment. All fiber optic transmission systems are designed and manufactured in the USA with a five-year warranty and 30-day money-back guarantee.
The company's business model is direct-to-customer hardware sales via phone, email, and a website storefront, with no minimum order requirement for USA standard catalog products and uniform quantity-based pricing across individuals, commercial, non-profit, and government buyers. Target markets span security/CCTV, access control, data communications, energy management, utilities, industrial process control, instrumentation, and military/defense — the last of which is supported by CAGE Code 1TGU2, FAR and EEO certifications, complete ORCA records, and NSN-assigned products. The firm is founder-led by Irwin Math (President & CEO), who established the predecessor Math Associates, Inc. in 1978, with the current entity rebranded to Liteway in 2002. There is no disclosed parent company, institutional investor, or external funding.

Liteway competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Extron Electronics: Extron is a major AV signal transmission manufacturer with extensive fiber optic extension and switching products for pro-AV, control room, and education markets. Comparable on LiteLink-style audio/video fiber links but operates at substantially larger scale and channel breadth.
- Black Box Network Services: Black Box offers a broad portfolio of fiber optic media converters, transmitters/receivers, and KVM extension products sold through resellers globally. Comparable to Liteway on transceiver/interconnect technology but with much broader catalog, distribution, and scale.
- Crestron Electronics: Crestron is a broad AV/control/UC incumbent with extensive signal extension and DM (digital media) fiber products serving enterprise, education, and government customers. Competes with LiteLink in pro-AV signal transport but at substantially larger scale and brand recognition.
Direct peers
- TC Communications: TC Communications specializes in fiber optic transmission systems for serial data, audio, contact closure, Ethernet, and timing (IRIG) — a near-identical product taxonomy to Liteway's LuxLink/LiteLink. Comparable in serving utility, military, rail, and industrial process control customers.
- FiberPlex Technologies: FiberPlex designs and manufactures fiber optic transmission systems for professional audio, video, broadcast, and government applications. Highly comparable to Liteway's LuxLink/LiteLink product family in technology, customer profile (AV/broadcast integrators and defense), and direct B2B go-to-market.
- Patton Electronics: Patton manufactures fiber optic media converters, Ethernet extenders, and serial-data over fiber products targeting industrial, carrier, and government markets. Direct peer in converting RS-232/422/485 and analog signaling to fiber, with overlapping US/government customer base.
- Transition Networks (Lantronix): Transition Networks manufactures media converters, Ethernet extenders, and fiber/copper interoperability products for industrial, carrier, and enterprise networks. Direct overlap with Liteway's data communications and access-control fiber links, with global distribution.
- tvONE (formerly Magenta Research): tvONE's Magenta Research line produces video/audio/data fiber optic extension and matrix switching products for AV and broadcast integrators. Closely comparable to LiteLink's video/audio multiplexer products.
