Lightfleet® Corporation is an emerging Pre-IPO growth company located in a suburb of Portland, OR that is 100% privately funded and employs 50+ people.
Lightfleet has invented and developed a new type of Interconnect technology that lets computers talk to each other using broadcast light. This invention, called Corowave? technology, makes systems smaller, use less power, and do more work.
The Corowave? technology is a patented “all-to-all broadcast optical interconnect” that eliminates the congestion and contention that create internal bottlenecks in inter-processor communication that exist because of limitations in today's point-to-point interconnect technologies.
Customers using systems based on Lightfleet technology will see significant benefits from increased efficiency in computing performance and data throughput, as well as reduced power consumption. This Interconnect will first be utilized in a new type of server that will be manufactured on-site.
