Well, all of this hiring is not fake news. Everything except for monolithic GaAs integration we can assume is just about ready to roll. There is a cycle of months that surround beta devices currently beiong evaluated by customers. Then these customers will want their orders of customized products (the InP platform devices), existing and evolving Denselight products as well.  What we are waiting for now, other than a possible Indian RFP award, GaAs partner, etc. are announcements and contract commitments for product orders in a agreements that pertain to sales volume, arranged manufacturing capacity, negotitated prices, and support agreeements, the real news.

Now, anything to do with the Optical Engine will be a huge boost as well for 2018.
