nEYE Systems builds low-power optical switches that remove network bottlenecks between GPUs and memory in AI data centers. The company produces MEMS-based silicon photonics optical circuit switches (OCS), including a high-radix, chip-scale SuperSwitch that provides direct optical connections among thousands of GPUs and memory units. Its approach uses wafer-scale silicon photonics and MEMS actuators to implement high-radix optical switching on chip. nEYE operates as a B2B hardware and systems technology provider targeting hyperscale data centers and AI infrastructure. The technology is positioned to improve performance, energy efficiency, and scalability of large-scale ML deployments.
