Yeah, and

so let's take a step back.
14:25
So IEEE is a standard today.
14:28
So a number of key companies, including Meta, Broadcom, AMD, have come up with this new OCI, so Optical Compute Interface, or Interconnect, sorry, Standard MSA.
14:43
And so what that's done is that's redefined what the optical protocol looks like.
14:47
to try and go to a much lower power solution.
14:51
And what they've done is they've gone from trying to maximize the number, the data rate per wavelength to saying, hey, if we back off on the baud rate and go down to 50 gigabits per second, but do multiple wavelengths, what we can do then is the raw bit error rate is native raw bit error rate for NRZ is so much better than PAM4.
