MicroLED optical interconnection company Hyperlum completed 90.62 million yuan in seed round financing

According to news on February 21, foreign media TechCrunch reported on the 19th local time in the United States that Micro LED optical interconnection company Hyperlume recently completed a seed round of financing of US$12.5 million, with supporters including Intel Capital.

Hyperlume's goal is to create a low-cost inter-chip optical interconnect technology suitable for short-distance communication within the AI computing cluster rack. This technology will have the natural advantages of low latency and low power consumption compared to copper interconnection, and at the same time, it will be lower in cost than laser interconnection.

The company finally chose ultra-high-speed Micro LED as the light source, coupled with a high-energy-efficiency driver ASIC, and finally achieved an effect close to that of traditional laser-based solutions at a lower cost.

Hyperlume claims that its pluggable active optical cable solution supports 1.6Tbps bandwidth and can be expanded to 3.2Tbps. The delay is a fixed 4ns and optical flight time, the transmission energy consumption is only 1pJ/bit, and it supports a distance of up to 30 meters.
