Credo Launches Short-Reach Micro-Emitter Optics (SRMO) Standardization for AI Data Center Scale-Up and Scale-Out Applications

L.K. Bhupathi, Associate Vice President of Product at Credo

“As AI workloads scale from thousands to tens of thousands of accelerators, the industry needs a standardized approach to wide, parallel optical connectivity — not a patchwork of components that do not fit together or interoperate”

L.K. Bhupathi, Associate Vice President of Product at Credo

“Launching the SRMO Workstream reflects Credo’s commitment to solving the interconnect challenges facing AI infrastructure collaboratively, alongside those who will build, deploy, and depend on this ecosystem. We believe that defining specifications, developed through industry collaboration, is the fastest path to bringing wide, parallel optics to scale.”
