All of these new hires did not come onboard, along with Singapore funding, sophisticated investors, and A*Star partnership to sit idly by and not go into production. All evidence points to going into production, and as Suresh says, allow POET greater control over its destiny.
Which to me suggests it has not enjoyed that luxury yet, due to bigger more powerful silent partners. And now things are changing for the better.
These new hires are going to cost a lot of money, which would be foreseen. They will have to explain how they are paying for the ramp-up, and when, and how.
Denselight is going to produce POET engines. AOC roadmap is "most of 2017" according to Suresh. So, the validation would have to happen soon ,or have already happened.
Many technology companies have a quiet period in January. I think this may be something POET is considering.
All my opinion. I have been busy with work and not enjoying this board much as of late.
