Huawei Launches Near-Package Optics Standard to Challenge Nvidia and Broadcom

Huawei introduced near-package optics, a new optical communication standard, positioning it as a more practical alternative to Nvidia and Broadcom's co-packaged optics.

On September 10, Huawei unveiled a new standard in optical communication technology called near-package optics (NPO), marking its latest innovation in the field, according to KrASIA.

Huawei claims that NPO offers greater feasibility compared to the co-packaged optics (CPO) approach promoted by industry leaders Nvidia and Broadcom, as it can utilize existing chipmaking supply chains. This could provide Huawei with an edge in integrating optical components more efficiently.

For Japanese investors and technology firms, Huawei’s development signals ongoing competition in optical communication technologies, a sector critical for advancing data transfer speeds in global markets including Japan’s robust electronics industry.
