Initial orders total close to $500K with potential revenue of over $2M for the next fiscal year.

"This is part of the much anticipated 'China Hockey Stick' that is expected to be the world's largest 100G backbone deployment to date," commented Robin (Rob) Risser, General Manager of Picometrix and COO and Director of API.
