POET Technologies Inc. announced its first entry into the optical module market for artificial intelligence and cloud data center markets with an 800G pluggable transceiver. The Wavelight is an 800G 2xFR4 OSFP module that incorporates the Company's POET Optical Interposer technology and related optical engine products. Wavelight is the Company's first POET-branded module and its initial entry into the pluggable optical module market, representing a key milestone in its commercialization roadmap.

POET debuts in the module market at the leading edge of module designs at a speed and performance that is highly sought after by AI network operators such as Google, Meta, Nvidia and AWS. The Company will showcase Wavelight modules at the OFC 2024 conference in San Diego from March 26-28 (Booth #5001) and customer sampling will begin in third quarter 2024. Wavelight has 8 lanes of electrical input and output channels operating at 106.25Gbps per channel.

The Wavelight product line is complementary to POET's optical engine sales. POET is committed to continue its optical engine sales both directly and through its joint venture, Super Photonics Xiamen (SPX), and serve pluggable transceiver customers for 100Gbps to 800Gbps speeds.
