Jack, I think this is why the word "orders" in regard to this NR doesn't accurately cover the situation.

As FJ said, someone has bought the existing ptototypes to test drive them. It would appear others have paid a fee (ordered) to have the prototypes reworked for their application and I also think others have paid a fee to develop completely new prototypes based on the interposer.

My opinion is that PoET has a LOT of balls in the air right now and need time and room to get all the jobs completed. This includes the data and communication apps, but also includes laser specifics from Denselight for sensing and measuring.

There is work being carried out in Singapore, Malaysia, China, Europe and the UK.

So no, 7 months doesn't seem very long at all to get all that on stream
