Hyperlume wants to make chip-to-chip communication faster and more efficient

Hyperlume, an Ottawa-based company, has developed microLEDs for efficient data transfer between chips in data centers, aiming to reduce energy consumption and latency. This technology could speed up chip connections and unlock previously inaccessible capacity. With $12.5 million in seed funding, Hyperlume is working with early adopters in North America and has garnered interest from hyperscalers and cable manufacturers. The company aims to become an AI connectivity solution provider, addressing the demand for faster, more energy-efficient data transfer in AI-driven data centers.
