VIDEO – POET Technologies $PTK.ca $POETF Closes At Highest Levels Since 2016 On Entry Into Artificial Intelligence #AI Market With Undisclosed Leader In #Photonic Computing

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:55 AM on Thursday, January 7th, 2021

When a small cap company enters into a developer and supply agreement with a technology leader in its space AND can’t name the company, that is typically a very good thing.

Understanding the world of Photonics isn’t the easiest thing small cap investors have had to understand.  In fact, it may be the very hardest thing they’ve ever had to understand.  However, given the fact we are the very reason current photonics devices aren’t living up to snuff trying to keep up with our surfing, streaming, binging and zooming – you start to see why understanding photonics and POET Technologies could open up investors to a whole new world.

We went beyond the press release with POET management to discuss its “Entry Into Artificial Intelligence Market With Undisclosed Leader In Photonic Computing”  No, we didn’t understand the title at first either ….. but the management trio on the Zoom did a great job explaining it in terms that are both compelling yet understandable.

Before watching this video, here is some important background information. 

Photonic devices create, detect and manipulate light.  Laser generated light is fundamental to sensing, computing, data and telecommunications, which require the fastest transfer of data possible.

This is where POET comes in.

Why? All the surfing, streaming, binging and zooming we do requires 2 things to happen:

1. Massive data centres filled with tens of thousands of servers.

2. Speed … and we mean lighting speed that requires lasers to transfer all that data fast enough for you not to complain about 2 second latency when searching for weight-loss programs for your New Year’s resolution (We see you).  

Examples of the the biggest trends sucking up all that power and speed in computing today:

  • Cloud Computing
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • 5G and Edge 

HERE IS THE PROBLEM

Making photonics devices that are reliable is expensive in terms of both capital and labor. Unlike almost every electronic device or component on this planet that has seen their costs drop dramatically over time, photonics cost declines have not kept up with Moore’s Law, with most photonics devices built one at a time. (NOT A TYPO).

The Result? Integration of components at wafer-scale has not been fully implemented even by the largest companies working for the past 20 years  ….. UNTIL NOW

POET has developed a unique, disruptive and differentiating new entry into photonics markets – The POET Optical Interposer™ Platform. Don’t worry if that sounds like a mouthful. All you have to know is that it

  • Enables lower cost
  • Delivers higher performance
  • Across a wide range of applications like those mentioned above


Today’s press release announcing its entry into the “Artificial Intelligence Market with Technology Leader in Photonic Computing”  serves as great 3rd party validation that POET Technologies can open up the AI market for its Optical Interposer Platform.

  • Suresh Venkatesan, Chairman and CEO
  • Vivek Rajgarhia, President & General Manager
  • Thomas Mika, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer

VIDEO – $KABN.ca North America Launches The KABN Prepaid #Visa & Digital Banking Platform To Support Its Liquid Avatar Users and Provide Online Banking Solutions Powered By XTM Inc. $PAID.ca $MOS.ca $MOGO.ca $CTZ.ca

The world of small cap technology is getting more exciting everyday. The AGORACOM thesis for this decade is that more wealth will be created from cheaper and more powerful tech than the last 2 decades combined. Said another way, the little guy has never been in a better position to compete and even beat the big guys.

Today’s press release between KABN North America (KABN:CSE) and XTM Inc. (PAID:CSE) is a prime example. Powered by XTM, KABN is launching its prepaid Visa Card and digital banking platform to support its challenger bank initiatives in North American.

What is a “challenger bank”?. Glad you asked. Here is the best explanation we found

“In the age of business disruptors, it is no surprise that we are seeing a shakeup within the financial services sector now in the form of challenger banks. The purpose of these challenger banks is to compete with the long-established big banks and give consumers more options in the fintech world.  Popularly considered to be small-medium retail operations set up with the purpose of competing against other, larger and more established banking institutions, challenger banks are heralding an exciting era in finance for customers.” 

KABN has no intention of becoming a bank but it does want to provide their Liquid Avatar customers with online banking solutions important to them. With all of the necessary approvals and partnership agreements in place, KABN North America will begin rolling out the program in Canada throughout the first quarter of 2021 and has plans to continue its card program rollout to the U.S. and other geographic regions 

What is Liquid Avatar? Glad you asked. To understand it you first have to understand and remember that Facebook and other tech giants showed the world that sharing our private data and profiting from it is a major issue.  It became such a major issue that sweeping laws have been enacted in Europe (GDPR) and the United States (CCPA) that not only puts a stop to these practices but also demand that individuals are given the opportunity to take control of their digital identities – and even profit from them.

The term is often referred to as “Self Sovereign Identity (SSI)” and though it sounds kind of complicated, it actually sounds like music to the ears of investors that want to learn more about this massive global trend.

KABN is the small cap company that is leaps and bounds ahead of any other small cap company in this space.  Their technology delivering your online identity is damn cool (check out www.LiquidAvatar.com) and their global recognition is even better given their recent addition to the Trust Over IP Foundation as a Steering Member, joining the likes of IBM, Mastercard, Accenture and other global giants that are forming an ecosystem around SSI

This is a global paradigm shift that you DO NOT want to miss because it is happening right now and KABN is the leading small cap company for investors to gain exposure. Why? Because they are turning the problem of data privacy into a profit for people like you and me.
