Salience Labs Limited is collaborating with Tower Semiconductor to manufacture Optical Circuit Switches (OCS) for AI data centers, leveraging Tower's silicon photonics technology. The partnership has transitioned from development to pre-production, focusing on high-volume deployment.

The OCS architecture aims to improve bandwidth and reduce latency in response to the increasing complexity of AI workloads. According to Dell'Oro Group, AI network switch spending in data centers is projected to exceed $100 billion by 2030. This initiative aims to optimize optical connectivity for AI infrastructure, enhancing performance and energy efficiency.
