I think that the one thing that stands out between the two agreements is that BAE looks like it got the Transfer process already, along with building prototypes for specific design kits if I'm interpreting this right.

What type of device and what it would be used for is the Million dollar Question. But they should be ready now as opposed to Anadigics time frame of 4th qtr 2015 for process transfer and 2nd qtr 2016 for vcsel prototype.

BAE-----The current phase of the work will be performed between March 2015 and August 2015. Key objectives of the collaboration include process transfer, prototype builds and design enablement kit development.

ANADIGICS------POET Technologies intends to start transferring its proprietary technology to ANADIGICS’ manufacturing operations in Warren, N.J. in the fourth quarter of 2015 and anticipates demonstrating integrated VCSEL prototypes in second quarter 2016.
