Reason for rise: OPTICS - Part II

It's amazing that a stock (SPLI) can add 65% to their market cap.(in one day) on the basis of being "poised", having "intent" and "might emerge" as a player in optical components, modules etc. for the telecom industry. I'm glad some interest spilled over to MRVC but I rather see it develop on the basis of a complete understanding of what MRV's Optical Access Inc. is doing.

OA concentrates on the high-end active component side of the business and has been in the business over 10 years. After Marconi, CSCO is the second largest customer of OA. The only company that can match their capabilities is HP. SDLI has some active components as does ORTL. The Uniphase part of JDSU does not. I forgot to ask about ETEK. This was told to us by Khalid (Ken) Ahmad, General Manager of OA last Friday after touring the new OA facility and during the walk to the MRV campus a block away.

By the way, during the walk to the campus I introduced myself to a fellow (trying to find other SIers) who turned out to be from Van Kasper, San Francisco. I guess we can expect an updated report soon, especially with the $40 target now history.

To all, please post all you know about optics and OA (and how this fits into the rest of the MRV product line like Fiber Driver). The world deserves to know. Interest seems rather high on this topic right now. <g>
