Company’s nanoporous semiconductor platform now targets ultra-short-reach optical I/O and intra-data-center optical interconnects for next-generation AI infrastructure

BOSTON, April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — InPHRED, a developer of next-generation photonics solutions for consumer sensing and digital health, today announced its formal expansion into the data center optical interconnect market, extending its nanoporous platform into high-speed connectivity solutions for next-generation AI infrastructure.

As demand for AI infrastructure surges and hyperscalers push for higher bandwidth density, lower power consumption, and more scalable architectures, optical I/O is increasingly defined by two key design questions: how close the optical engine is to the ASIC, and how far the optical link must carry data.

Across the industry, architectures such as mid-board optics (MBO), near-packaged optics (NPO), and co-packaged optics (CPO) are designed to reduce the electrical distance between ASICs and optical engines, improving signal integrity and lowering power consumption. Separately, optical links are commonly deployed across a range of reach classes, from copper and active electrical links at the shortest distances, to multimode fiber for short-reach links, to single-mode fiber for longer intra-data-center connections.

InPHRED’s optical O/I roadmap

InPHRED’s optical interconnect strategy is focused on two complementary “wide and slow” approaches spanning ultra-short-reach optical I/O and longer-reach intra-data-center links. The company’s GaN micro-Resonant Cavity LED (μRC-LED) targets ultra-short-reach chip-to-chip and on-board optical I/O, where the priority is replacing legacy copper with dense, power-efficient optical engines positioned close to advanced compute packages. The company’s 1310 nm InP VCSEL roadmap is aimed at single-mode optical engines that may be deployed in MBO or NPO architectures, while serving rack-scale and adjacent-rack links where high-temperature reliability, direct-drive operation, and lower system complexity become increasingly important.

“As AI systems scale, the challenge is not only how far data must travel optically, but also how far high-speed electrical signals must travel before they become light,” said Professor Jung Han, Chief Scientist and co-founder of InPHRED. “We believe InPHRED is well positioned to address both problems: micro-RC-LEDs for ultra-short-reach optical I/O close to advanced compute packages, and InP VCSELs for efficient single-mode optical engines that can support longer intra-data-center connectivity.”

The company is targeting initial demonstration milestones in Q1 of 2027 across both technology paths:

For μRC-LED optical I/O, InPHRED is targeting an initial demonstration of a 200-lane array architecture with 0.3 numerical aperture on sapphire. This milestone is intended to validate a path toward dense optical-I/O architectures in which very high channel counts may become practical with minimal or no per-channel microlens coupling complexity. The demonstration is expected to include initial proof metrics such as target coupling loss of below 3 dB and system energy efficiency of 4 pJ/bit.

For 1310 nm interconnects, InPHRED is targeting an initial demonstration of a 32-channel, 50 Gbps-per-lane 2D InP VCSEL optical engine. This milestone is intended to establish a foundational building block for future package-level optical solutions in which multiple engines could be tiled around the ASIC perimeter to minimize electrical reach. The demonstration is expected to include initial proof metrics such as target operating case temperature of 100 °C with a path toward 120–150 °C, and target fiber-coupling loss of below 2 dB per channel.

As electrical I/O loss, thermal load, and bandwidth density constraints intensify in AI infrastructure, InPHRED believes multiple optical approaches will coexist across different reaches and system architectures. By extending its nanoporous semiconductor platform into both InP VCSEL and micro-RC-LED optical interconnects, the company is pursuing a differentiated position across ultra-short-reach optical I/O and longer-reach intra-data-center connectivity.

About InPHRED

InPHRED commercializes next-generation semiconductor solutions based on Yale University technology. Its product portfolio includes SWIR VCSELs and Resonant Cavity Light-Emitting Diodes (RC-LEDs) built on a scalable nanoporous platform, enabling applications across sensing, digital health, and high-speed connectivity.

PropAccount.com Adds Equities to Its Multi-Asset Prop Firm Platform, Opening the Door to the World’s Largest Trading Market

White-label prop firm operators can now offer equities alongside forex, futures, and crypto, all inside one tech stack, at no additional cost.

BOCA RATON, Fla., April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — PropAccount.com, which is powered by FPFX Tech, and operates as the world’s largest white-label prop firm provider, has announced the addition of equities trading to its offering, bringing the world’s largest financial market within reach of every prop firm operator on its network.

With equities now supported inside the PropAccount.com ecosystem, white-label partners can offer equities trading challenges in single-session and swing-trading varieties.

One Platform. Four Asset Classes.

PropAccount.com is recognized as one of the prop trading industry’s most comprehensive infrastructure solutions, supporting forex, futures, and crypto across leading platforms, including DXtrade, Match-Trader, cTrader, Rithmic, and Tradovate. The addition of equities completes the grand slam of assets.

For existing PropAccount.com partners, equities trading slots directly into the same infrastructure that already handles trader onboarding, challenges, automated risk rules, account management, KYC, and payments. There is nothing new to configure, no new vendor to manage, and no new cost to absorb.

For new operators entering the industry, the launch path is equally direct. PropAccount’s white-label model allows operators to go live in as little as seven days, with equities available alongside the full suite of supported markets.

A Market Too Large to Ignore

According to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, U.S. equity market capitalization was at $68.2 trillion at year-end 2025, with daily trading volume averaging a record 18.6 billion shares. The numbers speak for themselves. Millions of traders worldwide focus on equities as a core part of their strategy, and the prop firm ecosystem has not offered this asset class – until now. PropAccount.com’s expansion into equities allows operators to reach this audience directly, building programs designed specifically for traders without fragmenting their existing infrastructure.

Wider Audience for Operators

For operators, the practical opportunity is audience expansion. Many equities traders have never engaged with a prop firm because no prop firm has spoken to them. Equities support on PropAccount.com changes that calculus, giving operators a direct path to a segment of the trading community that has largely been left out of the prop firm model.

The PropAccount platform handles risk monitoring, drawdown controls, scaling rules, automated payouts, trader dashboards, CRM, affiliate systems, and KYC: every operational layer required to run a professional prop firm. Adding a fourth asset class to that foundation required no new architecture. It was built to support it.

“Equities are the largest traded market in the world, and traders have been underserved by the retail prop industry for too long. Adding equities to our tech stack means our operators can now reach this audience directly with the equities they trade, without forcing them to adjust to equity CFDs.” – Justin Hertzberg, CEO of PropAccount.com

About PropAccount.com

PropAccount.com is the white-label prop firm infrastructure provider powered by FPFX Tech, the leader in prop trading technology. The platform enables entrepreneurs, trading educators, influencers, and IBs to launch fully branded prop firms in as little as seven days, using enterprise-grade technology covering trading platforms, risk tools, payments, KYC, affiliate systems, trader dashboards, and capital backing.
