Traditional mobile networks need to rapidly transform at the edge to handle the exponential growth in traffic and AI-driven services. Ayar Labs and Corning have developed a next-generation AI optical solution that couples Ayar Labs’ TeraPHY™ optical I/O chiplets and Corning’s unique glass waveguide module with built-in optical connections. Ericsson is partnering with Ayar Labs and Corning in this AI-driven solution as they develop their telecom future radio. This new, integrated optical solution will provide high-density, cost-effective, low latency, energy-efficient connectivity for AI architectures, 6G, data centers, and other compute-intensive applications.
Ayar Labs Expands 2026 Funding to $650 Million to Scale Manufacturing-Ready CPO for AI Scale-Up Beyond the Rack
Additional $150 million in capital supports product development, manufacturing ecosystem readiness, high-volume production, and new Bengaluru Design Center in India
