4. Do you have enough resources to support your design?
Before you start designing an active optical connectivity solution for a given application, it’s important to ensure that you have a team of trusted experts who can collaborate on the project. Vendors with proven experience in active optics, and especially within the application area at hand, can provide you with a library of resources to draw from as you move through the development process from brainstorming to designing to testing and perfecting.
5. Can your vendor provide sufficient support for all facets of the project?
The vendor you’re working with should provide proactive project support from the start to finish. Leading suppliers should offer the support of an experienced team of engineers and product specialists dedicated to identifying or developing the best solution for your application and should have a reputation for responding to questions and concerns quickly and effectively. It takes a lot of brainstorming, researching, and testing to design active optical solutions for defense applications, and since these applications typically leave no room for error, it is vital to work with a vendor team you can trust.
