SO WHAT
This is a hardware-anchored signal inside the phase transition: capital is moving to transceiver capacity, tightening control over throughput even as the old system rebuilds around AI supply chains.
GoPro will merge with Starman Optical to recapitalize and reposition, keeping the company publicly listed on Nasdaq. The deal is expected to add an onshore U.S. optical transceiver business, shifting focus from devices toward network-grade hardware.
