Celestial AI's Products & Differentiators
Photonic Fabric Technology Platform
Photonic Fabric is a full stack interconnect solution. It uses a thermally stable modulator that can be integrated directly into a high-power AI ASIC. This allows us to deliver data directly at the point of consumption. This allows us to be unconstrained by the ASIC beachfront and hence achieve an industry leading bandwidth density of 1.8 Tbps/mm2 . Photonic Fabric also includes technology components that allow us to be protocol adaptive and support any protocol including HBM, DDR, CXL or other proprietary protocols. We can therefore deliver solutions (e.g. chiplets or IP) that enable customers to build compute-to-compute or compute-to-memory interconnects. Our Gen1 technology offers up to 14.4 Tbps bandwidth per chiplet with Gen 2 bandwidth 4x of Gen1
