Thanks for posting that industry article. It shows you that since POET put an actual roadmap in place since 2015, they have remained focussed on working towards those lower and longer reach price points. This area is blue ocean for the taking. The good part is that POET is no longer doing this alone and they have co-development partners in Accelink and Almae for various products using POET's Interposer. In hindsight, POET had to adjust to the market but also has come a long way. They will probably not be viewed as a 'fringe' tech company much longer for core product lines.
