$Applied Optoelectronics(AAOI)$ AAOI Manufacturing Ramp — Key Notes
* Current manufacturing capacity
Approaching 200,000 units/month for 800G 1.6T.
* Capacity nearly doubled from ~100K/month at the end of Q1.
* Management says demand is significantly higher than current production capacity.
* End-2026 target
* Capacity expected to reach >650,000 units/month.
* This is more than 3× current capacity.
* Most of the incremental capacity is expected to support 800G, given current customer demand.
* Production lines can manufacture both 800G and 1.6T with the same basic manufacturing process.
2027 capacity target
* Management expects capacity to reach >930,000 units/month by the end of 2027.
* More than half of that capacity is expected to come from Texas.
