Enable new AI architectures with the Optical Circuit Switch (OCS) The OCS optimizes data center networks by minimizing electrical switches and optical-electrical-optical (OEO) conversions, resulting in significant cost savings, reduced power consumption, and improved latency for. MEMS-based optical switching platforms enabling flexible, energy-efficient fabrics for AI and cloud networks. The result is a reconfigurable fabric that reduces complexity and power consumption while supporting. An optical circuit switch is a network device that establishes a transparent, end-to-end light path between two ports without converting the optical signal to an electrical signal.
