DCI / Long-Haul / ISL
Ultra-high capacity coherent transport for data center interconnect, terrestrial, submarine and inter-satellite links (ISL).
Fueled by surging AI workloads, DCI traffic continues to expand rapidly. Hyperscalers require coherent optical engines with best-in-class spectral efficiency and ultra-low pJ/bit power consumption to support high-scale GPU clustering. The same coherent DSP technology extends seamlessly to carrier-grade terrestrial, submarine, and ISL long-distance transmission scenarios.
The Challenge We Solve
Fueled by surging AI workloads, DCI traffic continues to expand rapidly. Hyperscalers require coherent optical engines with best-in-class spectral efficiency and ultra-low pJ/bit power consumption to support high-scale GPU clustering. The same coherent DSP technology extends seamlessly to carrier-grade terrestrial, submarine, and ISL long-distance transmission scenarios.
Exponential AI-Driven Bandwidth Growth
AI and cloud traffic continues to surge rapidly across data center clusters and DCI links. Legacy 400G transmission capacity can no longer support the fast scaling of modern GPU compute clusters, requiring higher-speed optical networking.
Data Center Power & Density Constraints
AI data centers face strict power budgets and high-density deployment limits. Low-power DSP design reduces per-channel power consumption, lowering OPEX and cooling overhead while enabling dense 800G+ networking.
High Spectral Efficiency Demand for AI DCI
GPU cluster interconnection requires maximum fiber spectrum utilization. Advanced modulation, probabilistic constellation shaping and real-time nonlinear compensation optimize C+L+O band efficiency to carry massive AI data streams on existing fiber.
Multi-Vendor Open Interoperability
Hyperscale AI and cloud networks adopt disaggregated, multi-vendor architectures. OpenROADM and OpenZR+ standard interfaces eliminate vendor lock-in, delivering flexible, scalable interconnection for distributed AI compute clusters.
