Our Story
From Programmable Photonics
to AI Infrastructure
iPronics was founded to move programmable photonics from the lab into real-world optical infrastructure at scale. We combine world-class photonic design, software control, and systems engineering to build optical networking technology for AI infrastructure.
Founded
Founded in 2019 as a spin-off from Universitat Politècnica de València, iPronics grew out of pioneering work in programmable silicon photonics and large-scale photonic systems, giving the company deep technical roots that continue to shape how we build today.
Our Mission
Build the programmable optical infrastructure that lets AI scale. Ensure the network never becomes the limit.
Today
iPronics is scaling commercial deployment of ONE across AI data-center architectures, bringing programmable optical switching into a growing range of AI infrastructure deployments.
Leadership
AI infrastructure is entering a new architectural era. Our leadership team brings together deep expertise in photonics, networking, AI systems, commercial strategy, and scaling technology businesses, with the depth and drive to turn breakthrough technology into real customer impact. We work closely with customers and partners to solve complex scaling challenges, accelerate deployment, and help shape the optical infrastructure needed for the next generation of AI data centers.
