- BOM cost of Koruza experimental and pro editions. $1000.
- Hacking Koruza to become modems with physical fiber between them? No bc https://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-MC220L-Gigabit-Ethernet-Converter/dp/B00I486YTG
- Power for single mode 100km distance, unamplified?
- How do we work together?
- Wireless optical systems are maturing
- Transfering Koruza tech to companies
- Not recommended for untrained optical communications people
- $1k for wireless system
- Not clear whether tech will go
- Router to fiber - yes to do it.
- Fiber is cheaps - receivers are cheap
- In our case - reliability is not an issue - may not be worth the extra effort.
- Cheaper and easier with 1 Gig - to start running fiber.
- Media converter - ether on one side and fiber on other - SLP -
- Few hundredths of a millimeters - 50 micron.
- One better strategy - good mechanically sound milling centers - $5-10k, but crappy controllers. So with improved software could do better.
- GLIA - ECG - in development, shortly. Ask Tarek - directly
- 1 mW 80 kM - power single mode
- Resource optimal way is centralized, but could
- Can it be manufactured in the same centralized way

- Recycling - trash is valuable. Needs to do it at materials level.
- ISO Standard - get one. There are ISO standards for manufacturing - standard procedures for quality control. Quality management sytems - https://www.google.com/search?q=iso+9001&oq=iso+9001&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.2033j0j7&client=ubuntu&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 . Factory needs to be an ISO certified. Meeting
- Get ourselves ISO certified as an exercise. $5.5G, 48 empolyee hours for 1-24 person firms.
- OSE can do ISO, and learn.
- Optimized for small business: customer support, or easy to use,. Buy something easiest to use, most reliable. OS iff only as reliable.
- Send an example of a great printer - with super high quality prints. Magic in the firmware.
