CIOE reporting distinguishes optical-module shipment ramps from next-generation samples
National Business Daily reports InnoLight's claim of scaling 1.6T shipments and Eoptolink's claim that second-quarter 1.6T shipments exceeded the first quarter. Eoptolink expects faster second-half growth; this remains guidance, not a completed result.
Why it matters. Shipment progress strengthens the optics commercialization case, but does not establish domestic component independence. Separately displayed higher-rate samples are not volume deliveries.
