About the project

Fact Sheet

  • Grant Agreement: 101070178
  • Call: HORIZON-CL4-2021-DIGITAL-EMERGING-01
    • ADOPTION will also demonstrate disruptive new network architectures for hyper-scale data centres and AI computing clusters utilising optical switching and routing to increase efficiency and reduce latency. ADOPTION is aiming to create a new ecosystem of research and innovation, building on the complementary expertise of 3 SMEs, 3 large companies and 4 research institutions in the consortium, and to redefine the digital supply chain for CPO transceivers, fostering European competitiveness in this new value chain.
  • Start date: 1 January 2023
  • End date: 31 December 2025
  • Coordinated by: Tyndall National Institute, University College Cork
  • Total amount: € 6,364,026.25
  • EU contribution: € 5,551,282.50

Project Ambitions

Co-Packaged Optics Ecosystem

  • Create a European ecosystem/value chain around CPO from chip fabrication, to advanced assembly, system integration and the deployment by cloud computing operators.
  • Low power (3pJ/bit), low cost (<0.5€/Gbps) switching solutions for intra-data centre networks
    targeting beyond 204.8Tb/s switches and an increased switch radix.
  • Advanced packaging and high-efficiency fibre coupling
  • All-optical circuit switches with ns-switching time
  • Contribute results to standardisation – training – synergies with other EU consortia
