I reread the page again 2 times. To me it seems they are not talking about Poet´s platform.
This piece is about existent products, not future developments. Cisco doesn´t go too deep so it could mean a lot or nothing. But this strikes me:
- They are talking about chipsets, not a single chip.
- They are talking about industry-standard form factors, Poet has something smaller to offer.
I think this is not about Poet. Not yet? Who knows...
