What they do
Existing infrastructure cannot keep pace with the rapid growth in demand. These infrastructures are facing challenges in with deterioration in latency performance with severe network congestion due to the use of complex multi-layer electronic switching structures, emerging capacity constraints, increased energy consumption which all result in massive heat generation that begins to limit data centre growth.
Product & technology
Ultracell Networks delivers a patented and proven Cellular Passive Optical Network that delivers ~80% network energy savings, ~85% latency reduction and ~40% capex savings compared with today’s high speed active electronic switching infrastructures.
Why we invested
- →Huge, urgent pain: AI and 5G are smashing into power, heat and latency limits in data centres.
- →Step change, not incremental: opex & capex savings vs electronic switching.
- →Deep moat: Patented architecture aligned with emerging IEEE standards
- →Working with Tier 1 players at this early stage
