Exponential growth in AI computational power
The monumental scaling of AI computational power has profound implications for network infrastructure.
Bandwidth Capacity: As AI computational power grows, the need for high-bandwidth components in telecom networks intensifies, particularly for fiber optic connections.
Advanced Optical Solutions: There is an increased demand for advanced optical transceivers and fiber modules that can handle higher data rates, from 400G to beyond 800G.
Thermal Management: With higher data rates, the thermal load on optical modules and related components grows, necessitating improved heat dissipation solutions within the mechanical designs.
Power Efficiency: Networking components must be designed for greater power efficiency to manage the elevated power requirements of advanced computational hardware.
