Repeat customers are now the ones asking for more capacity: management describes buyers it has already served pressing f
The model's full reasoning — Q2 2017 call → NOWe need to answer YES or NO based on the transcript. The question asks: does management describe that buyers who have already bought from the company and seen the result are now asking for more than the company can currently supply? That is, counterparties already served are requesting volumes, scope, etc. that exceed what the company can presently produce, and management is working to enlarge the company in response. We need to find evidence in the transcript. The transcript discusses various product launches, wins, and market conditions. There is mention of InfiniStreamNG, software platform, etc. But does it say that existing customers are asking for more than the company can supply? Let's scan. Anil Singhal: "We made excellent progress on our product roadmap during this past quarter, and are on schedule to substantially complete this product cycle by the end of our fiscal year. Simultaneously, we are starting to build sales pipelines for these new products, and we are growing increasingly confident about our potential to reaccelerate our revenue growth and drive substantial gains in profitability in fiscal year 2018 and beyond." That's about new products, not about existing customers asking for more than supply. Michael Szabados: "In terms of wins and use cases, in the service provider sector, we are already generating traction with our InfiniStreamNG platform. We have already received initial InfiniStreamNG orders from two legacy Tektronix Communications customers and evaluations on this platform are underway at many other accounts." That's initial orders, not necessarily exceeding supply. "Making the InfiniStreamNG available as a software platform is also proving very relevant in today’s buying environment. We are happy to report that we recently closed a multiyear, eight-figure enterprise-wide site license for our InfiniStreamNG software with one of our longstanding Asia-Pacific customers." That's a large order, but does it exceed supply? Not stated. There is no mention of customers asking for more than the company can supply. The company is not describing a capacity constraint. The transcript talks about market conditions, service provider spending slowdown, etc. There is no indication of demand exceeding supply.

Existing customers who previously bought fixed-tilt racking (proven repeat counterparties) have switched to the new 1P TerraTrak tracker technology, creating rapid uptake that exceeds current supply capability.
