China’s researchers have built an optical interconnect system that dramatically speeds up distributed AI ...

The network is based on a framework called the Extreme Learning Machine (ELM). In this setup, input images are duplicated and sent through several optical paths. These paths act like synapses in a ...

The network in question is the All-Photonics Network (APN), an architecture focused on open, end-to-end optical technologies ...

A new version of Cisco’s Routed Optical Networking promises to simplify complex, multilayer networks by converging the IP and optical layers and minimizing the functional overlap. The software is ...

Artificial intelligence spending is entering a new phase. For the past three years, investors focused almost exclusively on ...

During MWC Shanghai 2026, the AI-ON Summit, themed "Networks for AI, AI for Networks," was successfully held. The event brought together the Information and Communication Technology Committee of China ...

With the emergence of internet services such as AI-generated content and virtual reality, the demand for global capacity has surged, significantly intensifying pressures on fiber-optic communication ...

As large enterprise and hyperscaler networks process increasingly greater AI workloads and other applications that require high-bandwidth performance, the demand for optical connectivity technologies ...

Microsoft has revealed it has collaborated with Ciena to define a blueprint for what it calls a zero-trust tiered optical network architecture. In a white paper explaining the nature of the ...

Optical illusions, quantum mechanics and neural networks might seem to be quite unrelated topics at first glance. However, in new research I have used a phenomenon called “quantum tunnelling” to ...
