Faichij: So in some ways the POET platform and the choices it offers are great but could result in a moving target in a photonics world where choices have been typically limited to what works.
That’s right, Faichij. On the other hand, at the end of the day, a customer will have to fixate that target and state what they want to have built for them. They will have to commit themselves to particular self-defined specifications which won’t chage thereafter, because otherwise they will never get any components that they could put into their boxes.
So, yes, it is a moving target, but not endlessly. There have to be a point in time when a concrete order goes out. And then on to the next product generation, where they can play that moving target game again (for a while)!
