ODIS has made progress in the development, which will now allow to implement an optical interface connecting multiple CMOS processors. This will make it possible to produce a military and commercial roadmap for POET.

The new technology can be applied in several markets, starting from general computers to smartphones. The wide array of application is what attracts such a significant attention from traders towards this technology.
