Discover the potential of the digital copies of the real-world assets.
The backbone for the journey from electronics to photonics.
APN (All-Photonics Network) will help respond to the explosive growth of data volume and power consumption demanded by current and future technologies
2016-2030
IT-RELATED POWER DEMAND INCREASE
x 5,000
Light travels much faster than electricity, but today optical technology (photonics) is used mainly just for long distance transmission
Information processing in devices and servers as well as other key network elements remain electrical.
APN will take photonics inside all information processing devices.
APN will also enable them to connect end-to-end optically
It will also expand optical communications to terrestrial-satellite communications.
...and undersea communications.
An All-Photonics Network beyond ground communications will be born.
The change in power efficiency, transmission speed and latency will make a whole new connected world possible.
