But we've had a lot of experience as an industry and certainly our company in deploying products in space.

Look, it's all about power.

I'll give you a really good example.

The iPhone with the Face ID, that's a laser product that beams lasers onto your face.

And one of the concerns, of course, Apple had was, hey, I want to have people's eyes burning out.

So, the power of those lasers are relatively modest and you're never going to burn somebody's eye out.

Similarly, you're not going to have birds burning up as these lasers shoot data down to the earth.

It all has to do with the power.

You can have these

super high power lasers that can shoot down missiles, that can cut through metal.

You can have modestly powered lasers that power the internet backbone.

And you can have these super low power lasers that do things like the face ID.

That's pretty cool.

Look, one of the things that we will see within the next 12 months is this idea of what we call optical scale up.

And so what is optical scale up?

I know you talked to Tony earlier today, and he's one of the bright minds in the industry.

You were very lucky to get that conversation.

optical scale up if you look at a rack you look at one of these servers that gets deployed by a hyperscaler and you go creep around the back side there are a ton of ethernet cables i mean you probably use ethernet in your house today maybe to wire your pc as you're doing all your work at home or in the office there's an ethernet cable that plugs into the side of the pc right

And if you look at the rack, there's tons and tons of these Ethernet cables, miles and miles of wire that run in the back of the servers.
