Problem
Hyperscale AI/ML data centers and 5G infrastructure face increasing bandwidth demands, leading to higher power consumption, increased latency, and limitations in scaling compute resources. Traditional copper and optical interconnects struggle to meet these demands efficiently and cost-effectively.
Solution
Point2 Technology develops interconnect solutions using its e-Tube technology and UltraWire smart retimers to overcome the limitations of traditional interconnects. The e-Tube technology leverages plastic waveguides to deliver multi-terabit speeds with significantly reduced power consumption and latency compared to copper and optical cables. UltraWire smart retimers are purpose-built for active electrical cables (AECs) used in 400G/800G applications, offering lower power and latency while reducing costs. These solutions enable efficient data transfer, improved energy efficiency, and scalability for AI/ML workloads.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes hyperscale data centers, AI/ML infrastructure providers, and 5G network operators seeking to improve interconnect performance, reduce power consumption, and lower total cost of ownership.
Features
- e-Tube technology: Utilizes plastic waveguides for multi-terabit interconnects with 10x the length of copper, 3x lower power, and 1000x lower latency than optical cabling.
- UltraWire Smart Retimers: Mixed-signal SoCs optimized for 400G/800G AECs, providing 2x lower power, 15x lower latency, and 40% lower cost than PAM4 DSP retimers.
- BER-aware architecture: Engineered for low power computing and optimized for hyperscale AI/ML data centers.
- Active Electrical Cables (AECs): Enable high-performance operations with reduced power consumption and latency.
- MSA-compliant form factors: e-Tube technology is available in OSFP and QDD form factors to support rack-to-rack connections.
