It must help solve the defining challenges of our time,\u201d said Kate Johnson, CEO of Lumen. \u201cWe\u2019re innovating our network to help AI computing adapt to available energy, lay the foundation for a connected quantum future, and prepare enterprises for continuous and emerging security threats. These are distinct challenges that demand a network built for what\u2019s next.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Making Networks Part of the AI Energy Solution<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nAI\u2019s explosive growth is creating an urgent power challenge. Limited power capacity could constrain AI expansion, increase costs, and reduce infrastructure flexibility and resilience. Dynamically moving workloads to where electricity is available could help organizations make better use of existing energy resources, manage costs, and scale AI without waiting for new power capacity to come online. Gartner<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> predicts that \u201cby 2030, data center power limits will force 75% of I&amp;O leaders to mandate energy-aware AI workload placement.\u201d *<\/p>\n<p>\nBy integrating Emerald AI\u2019s energy intelligence platform with Lumen\u2019s programmable network and edge locations, the companies are working together on capabilities to automatically shift AI computing among locations based on energy availability, while accounting for network performance, latency, security, and cost. This first-of-its-kind effort for both companies will expand Emerald AI\u2019s power-aware technology beyond the data center and into network routing. The companies are exploring a pilot using Lumen\u2019s edge and network infrastructure to test the approach.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThe network has traditionally connected computing resources wherever they happen to be. We\u2019re exploring how to turn that equation around, making the network an active part of how and where computing happens,\u201d said Jim Fowler, chief technology and product officer at Lumen.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cPower is a critical bottleneck to AI growth, and flexible AI data centers could unlock up to 100 gigawatts of capacity on the existing U.S. grid while being good grid citizens\u2014helping keep electricity affordable and the power system reliable,\u201d said Dr. Varun Sivaram, founder and CEO, Emerald AI. \u201cOur collaboration with Lumen brings that opportunity to AI inference. By combining our Emerald Conductor platform with Lumen\u2019s programmable fiber network, we\u2019re developing energy-aware routing that can move inference requests to locations with available power while keeping latency low and performance high. This is designed to give data centers a way to ease demand during rare periods of grid stress while continuing to serve their customers, helping AI grow alongside the communities that power it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Exploring How Fiber Could Connect the Quantum Future<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nLumen is also tackling one of the biggest hurdles for distributed quantum computing\u2014connecting quantum computers over long distances. Unlike conventional data, quantum information cannot simply be copied or amplified using traditional networking equipment, so new optical networking technologies are needed to distribute fragile quantum signals.<\/p>\n<p>\nLumen\u2019s investment supports Ohio State\u2019s quantum research, which builds on federal and state funding to advance quantum information science and engineering using deployed optical fiber. The research will help inform how Lumen\u2019s extensive fiber infrastructure could support quantum networking in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe research focuses on two quantum areas:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li><b>Long-range networking:<\/b> Investigating the optical technologies needed to link geographically distributed quantum systems.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Distributed sensing:<\/b> Studying how quantum technologies could improve geophysical monitoring and identify conditions affecting network performance.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Preparing Today\u2019s Networks for Tomorrow\u2019s Security Challenges<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nAs quantum computers become more powerful, they could eventually break widely used encryption methods. This creates a \u201charvest now, decrypt later\u201d risk, where information stolen today could be decrypted years from now.<\/p>\n<p>\nTo address emerging quantum-enabled threats, Lumen plans to bring <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fortinet.com%2Fsolutions%2Fquantum-security&amp;esheet=54630874&amp;newsitemid=20261029375931&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Fortinet+post-quantum+cryptography+%28PQC%29+capabilities&amp;index=2&amp;md5=ae93af715878c05b3d12034f3586e74c\">Fortinet post-quantum cryptography (PQC) capabilities<\/a>, available in FortiOS, to its SASE solution.
