SUGAR LAND, Texas, March 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Applied Optoelectronics Inc. (NASDAQ: AAOI), a leading provider of advanced optical and HFC networking products that power AI, today announced plans for the Optical Fiber Communications Conference \u2018OFC\u2019, at the Los Angeles Convention Center, March 17-19, where it will demonstrate how its solutions support modern data centers with the bandwidth, power and density needed for future AI systems.<\/p>\n

Over the past few years, AOI has strategically enhanced its portfolio to provide the high-performance optical sources required for the industry\u2019s shift toward silicon photonics, Near-Packaged Optics (NPO), and co-packaged optics (CPO) architectures. The company recently celebrated plans to expand its domestic manufacturing capacity with a\u00a0groundbreaking ceremony<\/a> at the new 210,000 square foot facility near its headquarters in Sugar Land, Texas, where it expects to have the largest production capacity for AI-focused datacenter transceivers in the U.S.<\/p>\n

OFC attendees can see AOI\u2019s technology in action in the South Hall, Booth #739, where it will showcase its comprehensive transceiver range \u2014from 100G to 1.6T, alongside a live 6.4T On-Board Optics (OBO) demonstration, powered by AOI\u2019s 400mW external laser small form-factor pluggable (ELSFP).<\/p>\n
