iPRONICS

iPronics develops lossless optical switches for AI cluster networking, building the first rack-ready programmable silicon photonic switch designed specifically for AI workloads. The company's technology addresses the critical bottleneck in AI infrastructure where today's workloads move faster than static networks can handle, wasting GPUs, power, and budget. iPronics' optical switches reconfigure in real time to maximize GPU performance, cut energy use, and scale without costly overhauls. The switches reduce latency for AI inference by avoiding packet queuing and processing, significantly reduce power consumption, and improve cost-effectiveness by reducing capital expenditure while enabling effortless scaling of workloads. They integrate easily into software-defined networks, allowing rapid reconfiguration and real-time monitoring, and operate transparently across various bandwidths and modalities. The platform delivers measurable improvements including 10x reduced downtime, 3x reduced power consumption, and 25x improved cost-to-capacity ratio. iPronics' silicon photonic technology enables programmable optical switching with built-in telemetry in a compact rack-ready design. The company has announced a silicon photonics packaging and assembly manufacturing line for next-generation AI optical circuit switches in partnership with Fabrinet. iPronics is backed by leading investors and EU research projects, with a world-class team of scientists and engineers. The company publishes research on fundamental building blocks for scalable photonic programmable processors and high-speed non-volatile barium titanate field-programmable photonic gate arrays. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Valencia, Spain, iPronics has raised $24.7M in Series A funding from investors including Europa, Amadeus Capital, Caixa Capital Risc, Triatomic, Fine Structure Ventures, Criteria Venture Tech, and Robert Bosch Venture Capital.
