In this new co-packaged optics market report, we analyze the opportunities for co-packaged optics in Edge Data Centers. It forecasts how Co-packaged optics will serve the market for the emerging latency-sensitive traffic types for which edge data centers are being designed. While many of the edge data centers today are little more than co-processors, the report shows how AI, machine learning and virtual reality traffic will become increasingly dominant and will require special data centers equipped with latest high-speed optoelectronic interfaces. CPO will be required early on in the evolution of large edge data centers to transport novel data types to the main data center, but will increasingly find their way into machine-to-machine communications and even the racks. This report also discusses what leading players are saying about CPO at the edge.
