iPronics raises $125M for optical AI networks

iPronics raised $125 million in Series B funding, bringing its total funding to $177 million, to scale programmable optical circuit switching for AI data centers. In its funding announcement, the company says its ONE platform can reconfigure optical connectivity in real time so data centers can improve GPU utilization without a costly network overhaul. Operators tracking the return path from GPU-heavy AI factories should file this as an infrastructure bet on moving bottlenecks out of compute and into the network.
