The world's tenth-largest contract electronics manufacturer has seen increased orders for printers and fiber-optics products.
In another domain, not far away from the chip and fiber-optics factories, software writers cooked up clever uses for the new powers.
Replace all of it with new optical machines that work in the realm of photons--no translation required--and fiber-optics capacity will expand even more.
It aims to wire up buildings, at no charge, with the ultimate broadband pipeline--fiber optics--as a platform for selling additional services.

Instead of lagging the world in this critical area, we would quickly lead it, just as we did with microchips, fiber optics and--until recently--the Internet.
Because it was too expensive to deploy all the computers needed to serve small local markets, fiber-optic backbones now serve mainly as cross-country thruways, but the shift to optics could let fiber networks extend farther into neighborhoods than ever before.
For 25 years high costs had confined fiber optics to handling long-haul tasks.
Lucent botched a shift in demand to cutting-edge gear for fiber optics, failing to recognize telecom companies' hunger for bandwidth and then reacting too slowly to stop them from defecting to archrival Nortel Networks.
