ENGLEWOOD, Colo., June 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightwave Logic, Inc. (NASDAQ: LWLG), a technology platform company leveraging its proprietary electro-optic (EO) polymers to enable next generation high speed data transmission at low power consumption and small foot-print, today, announced the reaffirmation of commercial timelines as noted at the Company's Annual Shareholder Meeting (ASM) on May 22, 2024.

As artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other cloud-based services continue to drive the need for higher speed data transmission, the interest in the inherent wide bandwidth, low power consumption and footprint of Lightwave Logic proprietary Perkinamine electro-optic (EO) polymers is growing.
