Here is the email exchange, everyone should read this.
ME: I am uncertain about the testing hours. 2k/5k. Did testing hours begin soon after you announced the new material or was the new equipment you mentioned for testing 100gb required before you could begin testing? I'm trying to assess the timeline.
Lightwave: This testing was described by a board member to give an example of common expectations and practices that explain why not everything can be accelerated by working harder. For telecom/datacom optics, this is a standard practice and so these sorts of timescales are typical.
But it is not a simple one time start, pass the time and then end. So I can say we have started but you should not infer that 5000 hours later we are done for good. Equally, it is incorrect to infer that we cannot do anything else until these 2000 or 5000 hours are done. Our goal is not to check off a piece of paperwork, our goal is to build confidence in the platform.
ME: You mentioned during the presentation that Lightwave recently obtained new equipment to test at higher speeds, was this needed for the 2k/5k testing? Should we expect a future press release when the 2k testing is finished?
Response: The high speed equipment is not specifically tied to the 2000 hours testing.
ME: Were we able to begin the testing without that high-speed equipment?
No Reply to that question.
