iPRONICS Programmable Photonics is making the computational power of photonics commercially affordable.
Founded in 2019 as a spinoff of Universitat Politècnica de València, it was the result of multiple years of research. The team has pioneered the field of programmable photonics and developed the first general-purpose photonic processor capable of programming high-speed light signals on-chip with unprecedented flexibility.
iPRONICS processors share a common hardware platform that is reconfigurable by software. This cost-effective solution enables the same hardware to be applied to limitless commercial applications with a voracious appetite for computational power, including 5G communication, data centers, artificial intelligence, autonomous driving, quantum computing and IoT.
