Edgecore (an Accton Company) and Partners Unite at Computex 2026: Powering the All-Photonics AI Era Together
Edgecore (an Accton Company) unveils the Edgecore Open Fabric: Built for IOWN®, a fully integrated, all-photonics AI infrastructure platform uniting optics, liquid cooling, and open networking with ecosystem leaders AMD, Astera Labs, Broadcom, InLC Technology, Intel, LIQID, Marvell, NTT, Penguin Solutions, and 1Finity
As artificial intelligence reshapes every sector of the global economy, the networks and data centers that power it face a reckoning. Heat is the enemy. Latency is the bottleneck. Proprietary lock-in is the tax. At Computex 2026, Edgecore (an Accton Company) is answering all three challenges at once, with light.
The two companies today announced the Edgecore Open Fabric: Built for IOWN®, a next-generation, all-photonics network architecture purpose-built for the AI era. Designed in close collaboration with NTT’s groundbreaking Innovative Optical and Wireless Network (IOWN) initiative and an industry-spanning ecosystem of technology leaders, the platform combines optical switching, open networking, composable compute, and direct liquid cooling into a single, deployable solution that sets a new standard for what AI infrastructure can, and must, look like.
