The 3.2T optical engine delivers 3.2 terabits per second, a throughput equivalent to processing 20 4K movies every second. By replacing electrical signals with light, the system slashes signal loss and heat generation, overcoming the traffic-jam effect of conventional wiring. ITRI has secured a supply chain network of over 20 partners to accelerate commercialization, positioning Taiwan at the center of the global AI optical communications infrastructure.
Taiwan Debuts 3.2T Silicon Photonics to Break AI Data Bottlenecks
As AI computing demands push copper interconnects to their physical limits, Taiwan’s Industrial Technology Research Institute has unveiled a 3.2T silicon photonics engine. The technology uses light-based transmission to double data capacity, aiming to solve the escalating bandwidth crisis currently plaguing modern data centers worldwide.
Beyond hardware, government-backed researchers are applying similar precision to healthcare. The new DiaTrack system monitors uremic toxins during dialysis, providing real-time data every 15 minutes. By shifting from post-treatment analysis to continuous monitoring, clinicians can adjust settings during the procedure. Following successful trials at National Cheng Kung University Hospital, the technology is scheduled for pilot deployment in the fourth quarter of 2026.
