Fiber’s Next Act: Moving Hollow-Core and Multicore from Lab to Network

Tuesday, September 15, 2026, 10:00 AM (GMT-04:00) Eastern Time – New York

Summary

What’s it about?

Overcoming Legacy Infrastructure Limits

Exponential AI growth is pushing traditional data centers and network infrastructures to their limits. As AI workloads demand unprecedented interconnect density, ultra-low latency, faster transmission speeds, and better energy efficiency, standard optical fibers are falling short.

Compounding these bottlenecks are critical physical constraints, including limited real estate, congested conduits, and strict land utilization metrics.
