IPRONICS TO SHOWCASE PROGRAMMABLE PHOTONICS LEADERSHIP AT OFC 2026

iPronics will exhibit at OFC 2026, the world’s leading event for optical communications and photonics technologies, taking place in Los Angeles, California. At the event, the company will showcase its latest advancements in Silicon Photonics (SiPh) Optical Circuit Switches (OCSs) designed to power the next generation of AI‑driven data center infrastructures. You can find us at Booth 4849, where our team will provide technical demonstrations and answer questions about our technology.

First commercially available SiPh OCS

At OFC 2026, iPronics will showcase the first commercially available Silicon Photonics (SiPh) Optical Circuit Switch (OCS), available in different radix configurations as part of the ONE Series. The company will demonstrate the device’s high performance and its ability to dynamically switch connectivity across multiple ports to optimize AIcluster interconnects.

Powered by softwaredefined control, the ONE Series enables reconfigurable, lowlatency Layer 1 topologies for AI workloads. Compared with MEMSbased switching, SiPh delivers faster reconfiguration times, a smaller form factor, and a path to lower cost at scale. It also enables integration of additional onchip functions—such as telemetry via monitoring photodetectors—while providing a clear scalability path when higher performance and larger radix are required.

Visitors will be able to see how iPronics’ programmable SiPh OCS technology supports flexible, highbandwidth interconnects for largescale compute environments.
