POET Technologies Launch Of LightBar For Data Centers "Is An Inflection Point For The Company"

AGORACOM Small Cap CEO Interviews - A podcast by AGORACOM

Understanding  the world of Photonics isn't the easiest thing small cap investors have  had to understand.  In fact, it may be the very hardest thing they've  ever had to understand.  However, given the fact we are the very reason  current photonics devices aren't living up to snuff trying to keep up  with our surfing, streaming, binging and zooming - you start to see why  understanding photonics and POET Technologies could open up investors to  a whole new world. We  went beyond the press release with POET management to discuss the launch  of their LightBar solution for data centers.  They did a great job  explaining it in terms that are both compelling yet understandable. Before watching this video, here is some important background information. Photonics  are critical to the next phase of semiconductor development.   Semiconductors are an essential component of every electronic device on  the planet. Photonic  devices create, detect and manipulate light.  Laser generated light is  fundamental to sensing, computing, data and telecommunications, which  require the fastest transfer of data possible For example – the biggest trends in computing today: Cloud Computing Artificial Intelligence 5G and Edge HERE IS THE PROBLEM Making photonics devices that are reliable is expensive in terms of both capital and labor. Cost  declines have not kept up with Moore’s Law, with most photonics devices  built one at a time - and multiple different components must be able to  interconnect seamlessly without constant testing. The  Result? Integration of components at wafer-scale has not been fully  implemented even by the largest companies working for the past 20 years   ….. UNTIL NOW POET has developed a unique, disruptive and differentiating new entry into photonics markets. The  POET Optical Interposer™ Platform - patented photonics integration  platform that enables lower cost and higher performance across a wide  range of applications Today's press release announcing a line of high-performance remote laser  light source products for applications in Cloud-Based Data Centers  might very well take POET to a whole new level, Watch this great first interview of many with Suresh Venkatesan, Chairman and CEO Vivek Rajgarhia, President & General Manager Thomas Mika, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
