Wiwynn Unveils Co-Packaged Optics Interconnect Technologies at Computex 2026
Wiwynn announced it will unveil its latest Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) interconnect technologies at Computex 2026 (Nangang Exhibition Center Hall 1, Booth #J0106). The demonstration brings together ecosystem partners including Ayar Labs, Global Unichip Corp. (GUC), Browave, Corning Incorporated, FOCI, Molex, SENKO, and TE Connectivity. The companies will present a full-stack path from chip-level CPO innovation to data center-scale deployment. CPO technology addresses this challenge at its root by deeply integrating optical I/O with AI ASICs, fundamentally reducing signal loss and system power consumption, providing the critical foundation for next-generation AI scale-up. Wiwynn has formed a strategic partnership with CPO leader Ayar Labs. By integrating Ayar Labs' TeraPHY optical engines and External Laser Small Form Factor Pluggable (ELSFP) SuperNova light sources into Wiwynn's rack-level architecture, the two companies are jointly delivering high-bandwidth, power-efficient CPO connectivity. They are addressing key hyperscaler deployment challenges: fiber management, CPO-enabled AI ASIC integration, thermal management, power efficiency, and manufacturability. Wiwynn has engineered an in-house liquid-cooling solution specifically for ELSFP to ensure consistent laser output. Paired with a high-density in-chassis fiber routing, this design delivers highly reliable optical connectivity from the CPO ASICs to server system platforms. At the silicon and system architecture level, Wiwynn is collaborating with Global Unichip Corp. (GUC), the advanced ASIC leader, to incorporate system requirements early in the chip design phase. By holistically considering optical I/O, power delivery, and thermal design, this strategic approach reduces integration complexity, improves development efficiency, and accelerates the transition from chip-level innovation to system-ready AI infrastructure. Wiwynn also collaborates with a robust ecosystem of fiber and connectivity leaders, including Browave, Corning, FOCI, Molex, SENKO, and TE Connectivity, to bridge fiber routing and optical interconnect solutions within the server system to rack-level infrastructure. The exhibition features advanced technologies, highlighting Fiber Array Units (FAUs), high-density optical connectors, blind-mate interconnects, and fiber management systems. This builds a complete optical interconnect solution from in-chassis to rack-level, accelerating the large-scale adoption of CPO technology in data centers. Wiwynn remains committed to deepening its cross-layer ecosystem partnerships, leading the transition of CPO technology from validation to hyperscale volume deployment.
