Orange Cat: "Actually yes, Suresh stated at the AGM that the mystery Tier 1 had several paths to 400G. They have not bet the farm on poet, unlike myself, lol"
From AGM audio transcript, it was David speaking to this. He indicated that because the tier 1 was such a massive company, they would not be driving their entire 400g strategy through a small company.
However, DL went on to state: "technically, we have a differentiated product they want, in fact, we're not sure they have a 400G FR4 solution without us....this is why they want to design us into their product"
