Problem
Next-generation AI data centers require exponentially increasing data transfer rates, leading to significant challenges in energy consumption and connectivity limitations. Traditional solutions struggle to provide the necessary bandwidth and power efficiency to support the demands of AI workloads.
Solution
InfiniLink develops high-speed SerDes and optical transceiver chiplets that leverage silicon and silicon photonics technologies to provide energy-efficient, ultra-high-speed connectivity solutions. Their technology addresses the increasing data volume demands of AI data centers while minimizing power consumption. The iOTC-G1 optical transceiver engine is optimized for low-power Ethernet and PCIe linear pluggable optical modules, enabling 1.6 Tbps data rates with low latency. InfiniLink's solutions integrate into pluggable module formats such as QSFP, QSFP-DD, OSFP, OSFP-DD, and OSFP-XD, and offer unique link monitoring capabilities.
