Aves99isback: would be nice if we could get an AOC to market :)
Reminds me that I always wanted to add the steps to achieve that, outlined by the company in their most recent news release, to my POET Technologies Timeline, so I just did so:

Please understand "Commercialization of active optical cables (AOC)" as a headline or bracket of the subsequent entries, colored in purple. The whole process ranges from the current date until the end of 2018 (conservative approach). Unfortunately we don't have any date estimates for the individual steps, but I intent do re-color them in green as soon as they are reached and announced, so we can more easily follow the process.
