de transcriptie van het benzinga interview:
00:00:01 Speaker 1
Great. It's great to see you again.
00:00:03 Speaker 2
I am excited because there were some updates that you left us with last time that I'm looking to get more clarity on this time around, but before we dive into that, give the folks at home a quick overview.
00:00:12 Speaker 2
Of what is it that your.
00:00:13 Speaker 1
Company does my weight logic is a company that's based in Denver, Co we create chemistry poll.
00:00:21 Speaker 1
These polymers are turned into little components. They get used on the Internet to speed up the Internet. So when you have a problem at home and you have to turn your video off because you don't have the bandwidths, these types of technologies will solve that problem.
00:00:39 Speaker 2
And now I know last time we spoke, but also in your Q1 PR you mentioned you had some folks come and check out your live demo. So like what types of visitors come to see the live demo for your packed polymer module?
00:00:52
1st.
00:00:53 Speaker 1
This has been since we last talked about three months ago. This has been incredibly busy, incredibly exciting and yeah, the types of visits that we've had over 20 major corporations come look at our packaged polymer modulators and the reason being is, is the performance like we've indicated.
00:01:13 Speaker 1
All along has really been blowing people away now. I'm not going to go into the technical numbers, but it's certainly world class and it's what the data centers and what we call the hyperscalers are really looking for.
00:01:26 Speaker 2
Now I know you recently achieved world class performance on your podium material in the optical interconnect links. Can you elaborate on the implications of the data center industry standards, but also how you can use this in future applications as well?
00:01:41 Speaker 1
So if we think about what the Internet is, is it's like a mesh of fiber optic cables that go all over.
00:01:48 Speaker 1
The country.
00:01:48
Yes.
00:01:48 Speaker 1
Yeah. Think of it as like your Interstate highway and the data centers are the intersections. You know, that's where the traffic gets backed up and, you know, takes time. It's so different in the data.
00:02:00 Speaker 1
And actually what's been happening is, is the generative artificial intelligence, you know, they're really big, exciting push from companies with GPUs like NVIDIA. They've been generating a lot more information on the Internet. And so that's actually forced or driven to hyperscale as a data center.
00:02:20 Speaker 1
Is to upgrade their equipment and they're upgrading their equipment to what is known as little boxes called pluggable transceivers that work at speeds of 800 gigabits per second and beyond.
00:02:32 Speaker 1
And they're looking, these guys are looking for technologies to support the upgrades and our technology fits perfectly into the performance these guys are needed to upgrade, if you like, the intersections that traffic intersections, we call them data centers.
00:02:48 Speaker 2
Yeah. Now I know it's a little bit different than what you are doing, but doc, every month I check if my apartment building has fiber capabilities or not, and every month I'm disappointed.
00:02:57 Speaker 2
But that's OK.
00:02:59 Speaker 2
Let's keep it moving. Now. I know there's certain things you can tell. Certain things you can't. But I have to ask. Any insights on the types of strategic partnerships or collaborations that you're pursuing?
00:03:09 Speaker 2
Following the Q1 update that you gave.
00:03:11 Speaker 2
But also like, how are these partnerships gonna align with your growth objectives that you've laid out for the company?
00:03:17 Speaker 1
So first of all, a lot of the visitors, I mean these are big players, tier one players and so these are folks that are really taking a close look at this technology and that's really exciting. But in terms of the strategic partnerships, obviously what we have is an engine for a pluggable transceiver box. This is a box that's one inch wide and about.
00:03:38 Speaker 1
4 inches long and those folks we're partnering. We're partnering with silicon foundries.
00:03:45 Speaker 1
And I think I mentioned just a couple of months ago that our technology is now on 200mm silicon wafers. These are silicon wafers that are 8 inches in diameter. This is the commercial standard. And so we're really excited that our technology is being put on to this type of platform. And so yes.
00:04:05 Speaker 1
Boundaries as well as manufacturing facilities as well as packaging. So our focus, our key thing that we add to the industry is the chemistry is the polymer and we're partnering folks that really can help scale that in.
00:04:20 Speaker 2
Now I know in May you've got your annual shareholder meeting. Before I ask you about that one final update from the Q1 side, you went ahead and highlighted your contributions to the IPS R-I, which is your integrated photonic system. Rd. maps international. Can you discuss how these positions, right, how it kind of helps you with the integrated?
00:04:42 Speaker 2
Photonics industry and drive that long term growth opportunity for the company.
00:04:47 Speaker 1
Yeah. Yes, I can. So if we think we've all heard maybe some of us have heard of Moore's law that was in the silicon industry that started in the 60s with Gordon Moore from Intel and came what came out of that was an industry road map for the silicon industry.
00:05:04 Speaker 1
It had red.
00:05:05 Speaker 1
Brick walls and things and it indicated.
