Hurlston: Hyperscalers request millions of optical units versus historical thousands
“You're talking about volumes of, let's say, a thousand units a quarter. And now we're being asked by these hyperscalers to deploy in 1,000,010 of millions of units. So it's really changed the dynamic in our industry, not just for Lumentum, but I think every si…”
