Baer executive director Ratul Puri says, "This is a major achievement for
the Company and it gives us a significant advantage in the fast growing next generation
optical format market. Moreover, this vindicates our strategy of acquiring OM&T
and adding their capabilities to the strong in-house R&D team to lead the
technology development curve in the optical and photovoltaic space. The pioneering
work in the Blu-ray format will further enhance our global leadership position." While
the BDR market is witnessing development in the 1x-4x recording speeds discs,
the company with its innovative technology has already demonstrated new benchmarks
in 1x-8x discs. End
users can now have a faster media that can record a 2-hour transmission equivalent
of HD (High Definition) quality data in less than 15 minutes. The next generation
formats have a capacity ranging from 15 GB to 50 GB and offer more than five to
ten times the data storage capacity of standard DVD media. These next generation
formats offer an ideal solution for reliable business backup, including medical
and government imaging, photography, videography, as well as high definition video
recording. Moser

benchmarks for the industry. This is inline with our strategy of transforming
