Optical communications will form the nervous systems of AI factories of the future, and makers of optical transceivers like FICG stand to play a lead role.
TAIPEI, Sept. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As artificial intelligence continues to reshape the global economy, the underlying infrastructure enabling its growth is drawing increasing attention. At the heart of this transformation is a little-known but critical component — optical transceivers — and FIC Global Inc. (TWSE: 3701; FICG), a leading expert in packaging and installing semiconductors on optical modules, is drawing on over 16 years of expertise to take the lead in this space.
“We believe the future of AI will be shaped not by algorithms themselves but by infrastructure that allows data to move efficiently among nodes,” commented Mr. Leo Chien, Chairman of FICG. “The focus on AI is often centered on models or chips, but without the ability to move data at speed and scale, AI grinds to a halt. For over 16 years, FICG has been perfecting the key parts for creating the high-performance optical nervous systems that enable AI to think quickly.”
Infrastructure as key to speed and energy efficiency
To power next-generation AI factories, the AI infrastructure industry has increasingly embraced silicon photonics for networking layers. Due to slower speeds and less energy efficiency, electrical connections are expected to be phased out in the coming years. In their stead, optical communications via silicon photonics will deliver:
Unparalleled speed and reduction of latency
Significant gains in energy efficiency
Greater scalability as AI infrastructure
As the key component, optical transceivers convert electrical signals into light data for transmission over fiber optic cables, significantly accelerating data movement between compute nodes. This year, the new benchmark for data transmission speeds is now 1.6 terabits (T) per second, and companies like FICG are innovating to double speeds in the future.
FICG: Advancing beyond 1.6T
FICG brings more than 16 years of expertise in process leadership and manufacturing technology, delivering optical transceivers for telecommunications, enterprise networks, data centers, and cloud computing since 2008. With an early lead in optical communications, the company is positioned to play a key role in powering the coming generation of AI data centers.
Since 2020, when it began including chips-on-board, FICG has made significant technological advancements:
2020 to 2022: To power the significant data requirements for data centers and high-performance computing (HPC), FICG introduced cutting-edge octal small form-factor pluggable (OSFP) and 800G modules.
2023: Officially started development and commercialization for 1.6T OSFP Siph (flip chip) modules; launched advanced 800G OSFP flip chips with linear receive optics (LRO) and transmit retimed optics (TRO).
2024: Set a new milestone in the industry for technological capabilities and strategic deployment by introducing the leading-edge 1.6T OSFP TRO Siph and 1.6T OSFP Siph (Normal) series.
These achievements come from FICG’s competitive vertically integrated model and process leadership. It focuses on joint design manufacturing (JDM) and high-performance, high-precision printed circuit board assembly (PCBA), and then packages PCBs with semiconductors. Specifically, FICG integrates higher-tech manufacturing processes like 2.5D and 3D semiconductor packaging and bare-die flip chip installation with the more mainstream surface mount technology for the rest of a PCB, enabling customers to consolidate their optical module supply chains.
The company also mastered ultra-miniaturization manufacturing techniques early on, including the installation of component sizes such as 008004 (0.25×0.125 mm), 01005 (0.4×0.2 mm), and 0201 (0.6×0.3 mm) — almost as small as a hair’s breadth.
Today, FICG supplies major players worldwide and collaborates closely with semiconductor manufacturers. It represents 20% of global market share in 400G, 18% in 800G, and is establishing a lead in the latest 1.6T segment while innovating for 3.2T.
About FIC Global Inc. FIC Global Inc. (TWSE: 3701) is a leading provider of optical transceivers, specializing in the semiconductor packaging and advanced printed circuit board (PCB) assembly. Formed by the integration of FIC, Ubiqconn and 3cems, FICG leverages a strong foundation of expertise to deliver innovative solutions.

Engaging sustainability leaders on nature-based solutions For a resilient and future-ready Hong Kong
HONG KONG, Sept. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is proud to bring its acclaimed roving exhibition, Reviving Hong Kong’s Ocean Heritage – Our Forgotten Oyster Reefs, to ReThink HK 2025, on September 11-12, 2025 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is holding its roving exhibition Reviving Hong Kong’s Ocean Heritage – Our Forgotten Oyster Reefs at ReThink HK 2025 for two days, from September 11 to 12, at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
ReThink HK is the city’s premier cross-sector platform for sustainable business, bringing together corporate leaders, sustainability practitioners, and policymakers to accelerate ESG transformation and climate action. The event is expected to attract over 10,000 attendees, making it a key convergence point for forward-thinking business and environmental leadership.
Following successful showcases in public venues, this third iteration of TNC’s exhibition is specially tailored for a professional audience — highlighting how highlighting how investing in nature-based marine solutions can be a powerful tool for corporate ESG strategy, climate resilience, and sustainable infrastructure.
Why Oyster Reefs Matter to Business and ESG Oyster reefs — once widespread along Hong Kong’s coastlines — are now among the most endangered marine habitats globally. Over 85% have been lost due to coastal development, pollution, and overharvesting. Yet these ecosystems provide essential services such as filteringwater, protecting coastlines, restoring marine biodiversity, and supporting local livelihoods.
“Biodiversity loss is not a distant threat — it’s a material risk for business and society,” said Anthony Gao, Executive Director for TNC Hong Kong and Regional Partnerships. “Restoring oyster reefs is not just about conservation. It’s about strengthening Hong Kong’s climate resilience, aligning with ESG priorities, and supporting a blue economy that benefits both nature and people.”
This exhibition highlights how nature-based solutions — like oyster reefs restoration — are not only ecological imperative, but also powerful ESG opportunities for businesses seeking to:
Invest in nature-based solutions to mitigate climate-related risk and build long-term coastal resilience
Advance biodiversity and blue carbon outcomes
Engage in and support community-driven conservation aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Lead in regenerative, future-focused sustainability
Exhibition Highlights at ReThink HK Designed to engage and inform, the experience invites visitors to explore a coastal resilience simulation that shows how oyster reefs protect shorelines from climate impacts, interact with a live water filtration video demonstration revealing how oysters naturally clean the ocean, and take a virtual reality journey to Deep Bay and Pak Nai where restoration is underway. Guests can also examine a full-scale traditional oyster farming model featuring authentic concrete poles from Deep Bay, view specimens, and interact with displays on reef ecology and biodiversity. The exhibition also features City of Shells, a documentary that traces Hong Kong’s 1,000+ years of oyster heritage and highlights the scientists and communities working to revive these vital ecosystems.
Visitors are encouraged to take direct action to support reef restoration. Visitors who follow TNC Hong Kong on LinkedIn at the exhibition can then select a recycled oyster shell and place it into a biodegradable mesh bag—TNC will later deploy these bags into local waters to help rebuild oyster reefs. Guest can also join a “Oyster Shells Up-Cycling DIY Workshop” to upcycle oyster shells into decorative decoupage containers or ornaments, blending sustainability with creativity.
ReThink HK 2025 is part of Hong Kong Green Week, a city-wide initiative that celebrates environmental innovation and climate solutions. TNC’s participation underscores the important of nature-based solutions in addressing the dual challenges of biodiversity loss and climate risk, especially in urban coastal environments like Hong Kong.
The Nature Conservancy extends its sincere thanks to ReThink HK for hosting the exhibition and providing a vital platform to reach Hong Kong’s sustainability and business community. Special appreciation also goes to our long-time partners, including the Swire Group Charitable Trust, Swire Institute of Marine Science (SWIMS), and the Explorer Club Hong Kong, whose continued support and collaboration make this initiative possible.

KUALA LUMPUR, MAYLAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 10 September 2025 – This Merdeka and Malaysia Day, Etiqa celebrates that very spirit of unity through the launch of Gelombang Kasih bersama Etiqa, a campaign that honours Malaysians whose compassion, resilience, and inclusivity continue to inspire hope and positive change across communities.
By shining a light on the extraordinary spirit found within ordinary Malaysians, Gelombang Kasih Bersama Etiqa creates a platform for everyday heroes and underserved communities to share their journey. It is a reminder to us all that the true essence of Malaysia does not rest only in the struggle for independence decades ago, but also in the bond of care, solidarity, and trust that continue to bind us together today. From small acts of protecting the environment, to sacrifices that safeguard heritage and nurture education, each story embodies the unity that makes Malaysia unique.
The campaign unfolds through two moving storytelling pillars. The first, Everyday Malaysians, Extraordinary Acts, is a five-part visual series showcasing inspiring individuals: a jogger who turns his daily runs into an act of environmental stewardship, a former fast fashion designer who now champions sustainability and education, a rescuer whose compassion gives strays a second chance at life, an artisan who transforms Sabahan heritage into wearable crafts, and a teacher who rides nine hours to a remote school in a Kelantan village to deliver knowledge and opportunity to the indigenous children.
The second pillar, Resilience in the Face of Adversity, is a five-part short film series that captures the courage of underserved Malaysians confronting illness, hardship, and loss. These are stories of families who shoulder the weight of disabilities with quiet dignity, mothers who press on through illness and poverty to protect their loved ones, and caregivers who pour their strength into those they hold dear. Among them is a touching story from a quiet village in Sabah, where a devoted family faces unimaginable challenges after their once-promising son was struck by a rare illness that left him paralyzed and dependent on life support machines to survive. Despite their own frailty and failing health, his parents continue to pour every ounce of love into caring for him.
All of these people’s journeys are marked by hardship, their resilience, sacrifice, and compassion shine as a living testament to the Malaysia spirit, proving that Malaysia’s greatness lies not only in its history, but in the shared determination of its people to persevere, to care, and to hope. As a gesture of solidarity, each family also received essential supplies and RM6,800 in aid from Etiqa, symbolising Malaysia’s 68th Independence Day.
Michelle Wee, Head of Brand and Communicationsof Etiqa said, “This campaign is a tribute to the very soul of Malaysia, its people. Through Gelombang Kasih bersama Etiqa, we bring our brand promise to life with authentic, deeply human stories that reflect the spirit of care and unity. This campaign was designed to celebrate diversity, inspire Malaysians to lift one another up, and remind us to be mindful of the communities around us, for those most in need may be living right next to us. As we celebrate Merdeka and Malaysia Day, let us remember that patriotism is not only about waving the Jalur Gemilang, but about standing together, caring for one another, and believing in the promise of a brighter Malaysia.
