How Optical Networking Is Saving The Cloud

Cloud providers are hitting a physical wall: copper cables can no longer carry data fast enough across data centers. This episode explores how major hyperscalers are pivoting to optical networking, using coherent optics and silicon photonics to boost bandwidth without laying more fiber. We look at the engineering trade-offs of replacing electrical interconnects with light-based solutions, the cost per bit advantages, and why this shift is critical for sustaining the exponential growth of artificial intelligence workloads in late 2026.
