And optics powers are being driven down further to increase the MTBF, mostly driven by data center markets where electricity costs matter. The DSP and the power amplifiers per front end module and radios for a WiFi wireless system is much higher. That's part of my argument for fiber through the home to remote radio heads with FiWi.
