From Fab to Market

OFC is the starting point for this part of POET's journey.

Dr. Venkatesan: « With our planned participation in the upcoming OFC Conference and Exhibition in June, the POET team is working closely with a number of customers and ecosystem partners for hosting technology demonstrations and virtual meetings. »

« We’re happy to have a lot of customer engagements across multiple verticals. Really we’ve got a couple of contracts, we’re finalizing plans with 3 others. And we’ve got basically a pipeline of customers that are waiting to evaluate our alpha samples.

At the end of the day, as Vivek always tells me, there’s just been so much new stuff in optics that just hasn’t kind of worked out. That there are a lot of people that are gun shy, and its up to us to deliver proof of performance. We’re actively working towards doing that. So, we are happy to have this customer engagement. Of course, you know that means we have to deliver, which we’re putting forth execution plans to do. But the engagement has been good. The interest has been great. And we believe that once we have samples in the hands of a few customers that are fully validated, that we believe that we can really grow this capability, and grow our business along with it. »

« We plan to provide updates on the expected near-term availability of product prototypes in conjunction with the OFC Conference. »
