Kenneth, The Mitel device looks more like a MEMS device than a semiconductor. From what little I know, it appears the Mitel is using semiconductor manufacturing techniques to produce a passive optical product, eg, one without inherent intelligence.

If so, then what Mitel has accomplished is a significant cost reduction of a key component. Everyone benefits.
