Eoptolink Demos Its NX200 and NX300 Series Optical Circuit Switching (OCS) Solution at OFC 2026

LOS ANGELES, March 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Eoptolink Technology Inc., Ltd., a global leader and innovator in advanced optical interconnect solutions, today announced that it will unveil its new Optical Circuit Switch (OCS) products at OFC 2026.

As AI models scale to trillions of parameters, the underlying network infrastructure must evolve to support massive, predictable data flows across thousands of GPUs. In traditional electrical packet switch (EPS)-only networks, spine-layer switches can become a performance bottleneck. One deployment approach is to replace the spine-layer EPS with OCS, thereby increasing overall network throughput and enabling easy scaling of AI cluster sizes.

Eoptolink’s OCS switches, the NX200 and NX300, support 140 ports and 320 ports respectively, enabling optimized AI network architectures at different scales.

At the heart of both the NX200 and NX300 systems are Eoptolink’s self-developed MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) mirrors, which physically steer light beams to create direct, reconfigurable optical paths between network endpoints. This approach eliminates power-intensive optical-electrical-optical (O-E-O) conversions at each network hop, delivering several key benefits:

  • Significantly reduced network power consumption
  • Lower and more predictable latency
  • Improved GPU utilization and shorter training cycles

Reflecting Eoptolink’s commitment to open networking, the NX series is powered by the Eoptolink OCS Operating System, developed as a SONiC-compliant platform. As an active member of the Open Compute Project (OCP), Eoptolink has joined the Optical Circuit Switching (OCS) project and is committed to contributing to the development and standardization of OCS technologies.

“Introducing OCS solutions such as the NX Series into AI clusters opens the door to a range of new network architectures,” said James Zhang, Director of Business Development at Eoptolink. “By eliminating the latency and power overhead associated with traditional multi-tier electrical switching, OCS enables faster training cycles and significantly higher GPU utilization for our customers.”

Eoptolink will be showcasing its NX200/300 Optical Circuit Switch (OCS) products, alongside 12.8T XPO, 6.4T NPO, 400G/lambda-1.6T DR4 and 200G/lambda-1.6T FRO/LRO/LPO series optical transceiver solutions, at the Eoptolink booth #1211 at OFC 2026, Los Angeles, CA. We invite you to visit our booth to experience the performance of these solutions first-hand.

About Eoptolink

Eoptolink Technology Inc., Ltd. is a leading innovator and provider of advanced optical transceiver solutions for data center, enterprise and telecom networks. Eoptolink is dedicated to research, develop, manufacture and markets a diverse portfolio of high-performance optical transceivers for AI/ML Cluster, Cloud Data Center, 4G/5G wireless, Transport & Datacom and FTTX applications all over the world.

Hydrexia Wins Hydrogen Contract in the U.S. Market

SCOTTSDALE, Arizona, March 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hydrexia LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hydrexia Holding Limited (Hydrexia), a leading hydrogen technology solution provider, today announced that it has secured a commercial contract with Apollo Mechanical Contractors (Apollo) to deliver a low-temperature solid-state solution for hydrogen storage at Klickitat Valley Health (KVH) in Goldendale, Washington State. Under the terms of the contract, Hydrexia LLC is to provide a comprehensive technology solution to KVH to fuel its existing onsite fuel cell for hospital mission critical backup power.

The contract represents a significant breakthrough of Hydrexia’s international business operations into the United States. Leveraging its proprietary technology solutions for commercial and industrial value chains, Hydrexia has been actively pursuing global projects to expand hydrogen applications across diverse use cases. Hydrexia’s low temperature solid-state solution for hydrogen storage for KVH complements its existing magnesium-based metal hydride solution, which is designed for a lower temperature application scenario for hydrogen storage.

“We are extremely excited to have won the contract, thanks to the strong confidence of KVH in our solution,” said Jim Petrecky, the chief commercial officer of Hydrexia LLC. “Our intrinsically safe and compact solution will enable KVH to easily permit expansion of their backup power capacity,” added Petrecky.

Vidu Unveils the World’s First AI Solution for Animated Series Production at SXSW 2026

AUSTIN, Texas, March 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ShengShu Technology, a global leader in multimodal generative AI, today unveiled the world’s first AI solution for animated series production at SXSW 2026 in Austin, powered by its Vidu Q3 model.

Despite rapid progress in generative AI video tools, creating consistent animated storytelling across multiple scenes or episodes remains a major challenge. Characters may unexpectedly change appearance, scene continuity can break between shots, and audio often fails to align naturally with visual performance.

The Vidu Q3 animated series solution is designed to address these challenges, helping creators move from visually impressive AI demos to stable, scalable animation production workflows.

Unlike general-purpose video generation models, the solution is built specifically for animation storytelling, with model architecture and product capabilities optimized for serialized narrative content.

The solution focuses on solving several key production challenges in AI-generated animation:

Non-human character instability

AI-generated characters especially stylized or non-human roles often shift appearance between scenes or episodes. Vidu improves character consistency through specialized training and enhanced multi-view stability.

High barriers to prompt creation

Creators frequently struggle to produce detailed prompts that generate the intended visual results. Vidu introduces a prompt optimization assistant that automatically expands prompts with structured visual parameters.

Weak continuity across multiple shots

Maintaining spatial relationships and character positioning between shots can be difficult in AI-generated scenes. Vidu incorporates spatial structure control to preserve scene continuity and reduce inconsistent movement or axis shifts.

Audio and visual performance misalignment

In many AI-generated videos, dialogue and visuals feel disconnected. Vidu addresses this with an audio-first generation pipeline, layered lip-sync processing, and improved audio-visual alignment.

Limited reuse of IP assets

Serialized content often requires creators to repeatedly recreate characters or visual elements. Vidu enables modular asset reuse through a structured subject library, allowing creators to maintain visual consistency across episodes.

“AI video generation has reached a stage where individual clips can look impressive, but producing consistent narrative content at scale remains difficult,” said Yihang Luo, CEO of ShengShu Technology. “Our goal is to help creators move beyond isolated demonstrations and enable reliable production of serialized animated stories.”

Today, Vidu operates in more than 200 countries and regions, spanning industries such as animation, interactive entertainment, advertising, film, cultural tourism, gaming and more.

Upcoming News:

Vidu Q3’s Reference-to-Video feature will be launching soon. Originally released by Vidu in 2024, this pioneering feature offers multi-entity consistency, supporting up to seven reference images to maintain stable character and scene continuity. Users can upload reference videos or images, allowing the AI to learn character movements, facial expressions, camera motion, and visual styles. This makes animated series production more seamless, consistent, and compelling.

About ShengShu Technology:

Founded in March 2023, ShengShu Technology is a world-leading artificial intelligence company specializing in the development of multimodal large language models. Driven by innovation, the company delivers cutting-edge MaaS and SaaS solutions that transform creative production by enabling smarter, faster, and more scalable content creation. With its flagship video generation platform, Vidu, ShengShu Technology’s solutions have reached users in over 200 countries and regions worldwide, spanning industries such as animation, interactive entertainment, advertising, film, cultural tourism, and more.
