Mon dieu, $30M market cap, Straus probably carries that around in his wallet.

As for the plethora of companies claiming to have opto-electronic products, you have to admit it's a good marketing ploy no matter how far they have to stretch the definition --- or in some cases, how far the products are from meaningful deployment. Mitel comes to mind. They may have good technology but it's a mighty long walk from proof-of-concept to shipping.

H&Q gave me the IPO so I figured I'd better look at what they do.

Our core technology expertise in gallium-arsenide, or GaAs, semiconductor and thin-film substrates coupled with our exceptional radio frequency design and manufacturing capabilities have enabled us to attain a leadership position in these broadband communications markets.

I'm not suggesting anyone buy this stock, but I do recommend reading their history, beginning around p19 under "Management's Discussion. . .":
