"IOWN's backers hope to one day bring their tech all the way to the connections between dies on a chip, but for now have a high speed and low latency WAN technology that has demonstrated the ability to handle workloads like synchronous data replication over hundreds of kilometers of optical fiber."
"Camarillo said IOWN reps recently engaged with representatives of the financial services industry in London, and learned they see great potential for IOWN if it lets them use datacenters outside the city as such facilities will offer lower costs than those closer to town or in central business districts."
"IOWN wants to provide that link and feels its tech is fast enough that it can enable remote GPU access without creating a bottleneck - and perhaps enable access to more diverse sources of AI infrastructure."
The IOWN Global Forum aims to promote Innovative Optical and Wireless Network technology, replacing wired networks with optical solutions. Recent consultations revealed datacenter interconnect as a key use case for IOWN adoption, particularly in the financial services sector. Lower-cost datacenters outside urban areas are appealing, provided latency remains low. IOWN's technology is designed to facilitate fast links for smaller operators, especially neoclouds offering hosted GPUs, enabling remote access to diverse AI infrastructure and supporting the development of smaller datacenters in accessible locations.
