it’s not necessarily all speed, it’s bandwidth. It’s how many bits you can transmit per second. You can do it two ways. You can do it by increasing the speed in a lane, or you can do it by keeping the speed in the lane constant and adding more lanes. Either way you transmit more data. It’s about … the speed is not important, it’s the amount of data that can be transmitted per second. So if you get to a 400 Gbps solution, then extending it to 800 means adding more lanes. I think we have the ability with the interposer to add more lanes while keeping a cost structure that’s very competitive, because we’re doing it in an integrated fashion with the waveguides and the interposer. Adding more lanes in a more conventional optics configuration is more expensive, because each lane is done individually with separate components. So we do have that flexibility to increase bandwidth, data bandwidth, which is really the more important metric.

this is a very important point when considering why Tier 1's will want to be using Poet's Interposer technology!
