Demand for 800G and 1.6T optical modules is largely driven by AI data-centre buildouts, so this supplier's outlook is a useful signal of AI infrastructure investment. Forward order visibility into 2027 and some 2028 guidance suggests sustained spending, though it comes from one company's own announcement. Readers should watch whether next-generation interconnects like NPO and XPO move from roadmap to volume shipments.
