Former FCC Chairman Kevin Martin has joined the board of directors of Xtera Communications.
The company, which deploys network infrastructure, pointed to Martin's deregulatory policies that it said spurred infrastructure investment.
"We are honored that Chairman Martin has accepted a position on our board," said Xtera Chairman Jon Bayless in a statement. "Kevin is one of today's leading experts in telecommunications and technology policy. His wealth of experience as a telecom policymaker and his global perspective across a broad range of industry issues will be invaluable to guiding and influencing the company's strategic direction."
Martin exited the FCC in January, joining the Aspen Institute as a senior fellow.
