VALENCIA, Spain, March 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- iPronics, a leader in software-defined photonics, today launched its Optical Networking Engine, ONE-32, the worldโs first Optical Circuit Switch (OCS) product based on silicon photonics. Tailored for AI workloads and energy-efficient cloud infrastructure, the ONE-32 delivers ultra-low latency, massive scalability, and groundbreaking cost efficiency, transforming data center networking.
Transforming AI and Cloud Infrastructure
Targeting both scale up and scale out applications for AI clusters and high-performance computing data centers, ONE-32 enables failure-resilient interconnects and programmable Layer 1 topologies.
With AI driving data rates to double annually, traditional electrical packet switches (EPS) falter, burdened by power-intensive optical-electrical-optical conversions and rigid designs. The ONE-32, a 32-port OCS, leverages a CMOS- silicon photonics platform to eliminate these inefficiencies, cutting switch power consumption by up to 50% by halving the quantity of transceivers required compared to EPS. It offers a flat O-band response, near-zero latency (<30 ns), and rapid reconfiguration (<300 ยตs).
โThe ONE-32 redefines connectivity for the AI era,โ said Christian Dupont, CEO of iPronics. โAs the first OCS built on silicon photonics technology, it delivers unmatched performance and affordability, unlocking optical networkingโs full potential for data centers.โ
โiPronics ONE-32 key features include gain-control routing and bandwidth transparency, in a compact 1U form factor,โ said Daniel Perez, CTO of iPronics. โONE-32 capitalizes on CMOS scalability, making high-performance networking widely accessible.โ
Availability and Upcoming Showcase
Available from May 2025, ONE-32 advances iPronicsโ vision of optical innovation to enable a future proof AI Data Center network. iPronics will be showcasing its ONE-32, at OFC 2025 taking place at San Francisco from 1st April to 3rd April. Attendees can find iPronics at booth number 5526. Visit www.ipronics.com or contact info@ipronics.com for details.
