AI surge requires 50 million Sq Ft additional real estate, 45 TWH incremental power for data centres by 2030: Deloitte
New Delhi [India], May 8 (ANI): India could require an additional 45-50 million square feet of real estate space and 40-45 Terawatt Hours (TWH) of incremental power by 2030 to meet the growing demand for AI, according to a report by multinational professional services firm Deloitte. The report further suggests that targeted policy interventions will be critical in positioning India as a global AI hub. The report identifies six key pillars for India to reach its full potential in building a world-leading, AI-ready ecosystem. These pillars are real estate, power and utilities infrastructure, connectivity and network infrastructure, compute infrastructure, talent and policy framework. 'For India to accelerate its AI capabilities and realise its potential, it is necessary to introduce enabling policies to support the sector. India must develop its AI-ready infrastructure to meet this rising demand for data analytics and processing,' said S Anjani Kumar, Partner, Deloitte India. While India offers an advantage in data centre real estate with lower land and labour costs, significant new constructions are needed to meet the additional AI data centre capacity, highlights the report. From a policy perspective, the report suggests that introducing a separate category for data centres in the National Building Code and recognising them under the Essential Services Maintenance Act could further incentivise specialised infrastructure development. Additionally, fast-tracking and simplifying the approvals by setting up data centre facilitation units can help boost the deployment of data centres, the report adds. The rapid expansion of data centres in India intensifies pressure on the country's power infrastructure, creating an urgent need for enhanced transmission capabilities and grid stability. The report further add that substantial investments are needed to expand generation capacity, upgrade infrastructure and better integrate renewable energy sources, which are supported by advancements in energy-efficient cooling and offshore and onshore power sourcing. Compute infrastructure is a critical component of AI data centre operations. 'A greater focus on building high-performance compute infrastructure, scalable power and cooling systems and efficient networking infrastructure, with a reconsideration of policy framework, can make India a hotspot for AI-powered data centre development in the coming years,' said Neha Aggarwal, Partner, Deloitte India. To stay competitive, the report suggests that India must urgently boost Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) supply, promote GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) and attract foreign investment to build Exaflop-scale capacity with high-performance GPUs. The report emphasises that India's workforce must upskill to fit into AI and data centre ecosystem roles, accelerating sector growth. (ANI)

Furukawa Electric Launched an epoch compact multi-fiber optical connector suitable for CPO
TOKYO, JAPAN - Media OutReach Newswire - 27 March 2025 - Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. newly developed the compact 12-fiber optical connector suitable for CPO (Co-Packaged Optics). The rapid spread of generative AI has accelerated the development of CPO for datacenter applications. In CPO, an optical transceiver is placed close to a large-scale LSI (Large Scale Integration) such as a switch ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) or a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), and the length of the electrical transmission line can be shortened. Therefore, high-speed communication and low power consumption are expected by CPO. For the deployment of CPO, it is necessary to realize a compact, easy-to-use, detachable optical fiber connector at the edge of the optical transceiver device (Fig. 1). The newly developed 12-fiber optical connector is significantly smaller than conventional multi-fiber optical connectors, with a connection area that is 1/6 MPO connectors (Fig. 2). The semi-automatic connection method using magnets provides excellent connection workability. The connector can withstand 260°C reflow (the process of soldering components to the substrate) that is necessary to be assembled to a CPO substrate. It also employs optical coupling with lenses, there is very little degradation in characteristics when dust adheres to the optical end face, it is also suitable for dusty environments such as data centers. The connection loss is less than 0.5 dB with good repeatability within ± 0.05 dB. This developed connector can also be used as a compact multi-fiber optical connector for connecting optical fibers. In addition to high-density attaching to a glass waveguide substrate that is expected to be applied to the next-generation photonics-electronics convergence form (Fig. 3), it is also applicable to more-fiber structures such as 16-fiber. We are currently developing 40-fiber optical connector. At OFC 2025, which will be held in San Francisco, USA, from March 30 to April 3 this year, we will give an oral presentation (Lecture No. M4J. 2) and exhibit samples (in the booth of Lightera booth No. 2843). This development is partly based on results obtained from the project, "Research and Development Project of the Enhanced Infrastructures for Post-5G Information and Communication Systems" (JPNP20017), commissioned by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).Hashtag: #FurukawaElectric The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.
