I believe we are actually two months ahead of schedule, and I am soooo happy about it.

Alpha samples have been sent to BFYY and Beta samples are expected to be delivered by the end of June. A production release is currently scheduled for the second half of 2023.

BFYY will need up to six months to perform its reliability testing. 

So, based on this news, the production release is still scheduled for the second half of 2023. Adding 6 months for testing, that would align with the statement in this news release:

POET and SPX expect to complete the design verification testing and reliability qualification of POET ONE by the fourth quarter of 2023 and then start production shipments to BFYY in early 2024.
