Syntec Optics (Nasdaq: OPTX) Secures $1.3M Orders for Datacom Microlens Array, Orders Forecasted to More Than Double to $3.2M
Syntec Optics (Nasdaq: OPTX) has announced securing $1.3 million in orders for its datacom microlens array, with forecasts suggesting this could more than double to $3.2 million.
Half of the $1.3 million order has already been delivered. The company plans to expand production and metrology to meet the anticipated demand for deliveries in 2024 and early 2025.
This surge is driven by increasing demand for optical connectivity in data centers, fueled by the rise of artificial intelligence (AI). Syntec's high-volume replicative process is noted for its precision in optical connectivity.
According to SPIE, the communications market in optics and photonics is valued at nearly $43 billion globally. AI's growth is expected to further boost the need for advanced data centers, enhancing the demand for high-speed optical connectivity.
