I encourage everyone to listen to the webcast conference call for my pick KVH industries. They ended a string of losses today. The CC will be available off the web site for two weeks. They announced in the CC this morning that they are entering the Optical Networking market and are developing several components within a 12 month timeframe. One component is a high speed external optical modulator that "encodes data onto fiber via light" that will run at 100Ghz - 10 times faster than anything on the market today. Dr. Larry Dalton has just joined their advisory board. This appears to be what they are developing. unisci.com They have 69 patents now and have applied for 14 more on this new technology. From the CC they said "This is an enormous market. It is the largest opportunity in front of us today." They also have a unique and revolutionary fiber optic high voltage current sensor product coming out, and they have been asked to present at a George Gilder conference on Power in December. They anticipate a $500 million/yr market there. The company is currently perceived as primarily a military equipment provider. It has a $50 (yes 50) million market cap. Not for much longer.
