The Future of Optical Communication: From Fiber to CPO

The explosive growth of artificial intelligence has transformed optical communication from a niche infrastructure technology into one of the most strategically important sectors in modern computing. As AI clusters scale from thousands to potentially millions of interconnected accelerators, demand for bandwidth, energy efficiency, and low-latency communication continues to rise at an unprecedented pace.

Google Rejects CPO: $185B Bet Reshapes AI Infrastructure

Google’s latest infrastructure strategy is not just a product update—it is a decisive architectural shift. Announced alongside a massive $175–$185 billion capital expenditure plan for 2026, the company made one message unmistakably clear: Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) is not part of its near-term future.
