AI isn't just becoming a compute problem anymore—it's becoming a networking problem. Faster GPUs don't help much if data can't move between them efficiently, so it's not surprising to see optical interconnects becoming a strategic technology for future AI data centers.

As AI clusters become larger and GPUs become faster, networking and optical communication are becoming just as important as the compute hardware itself. Copper connections consume too much power and suffer from signal loss at very high speeds, so the industry is gradually moving toward optical interconnects. TrendForce forecasts the combined CPO/NPO market could grow from roughly $100 million in 2025 to over $39 billion by 2030, illustrating how strategic this technology is expected to become.

UK Military getting into the Lasers in space game!

Britain is testing new high-speed infra-red laser based optical satellite links for its armed forces. The ground station, developed by UK firm Archangel Lightworks, is ~ a meter tall and 0.7 m in diameter and can transmit and receive data at up to 10 Gbps, and could in future scale to terabit-per-second (Tbps). https://www.theregister.com/networks/2026/05/27/uk-armed-forces-aims-for-secure-comms-via-optical-satellite-links/5246994

The U.S. Space Force is actively deploying its all Optical Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) — a large, resilient, Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) mesh network of hundreds of satellites to provide low-latency communication and surveillance.
