The thing that struck me with the short-listing of an industry award, was how soon the nomination occurred since news of the platform was released (January 29th).  So really, 4-6 weeks from release to nomination, without any “official” commercial application in the market yet.  

That then made me wonder how far along prototypes were and whether they were already being demonstrated.  News releases seem to be very arbitrary in their timing.  This platform could have been completed mid to late last year, but kept under wraps for strategic purposes.  

If that’s true, then hopefully a serious customer commitment is imminent.
