Finchetto Ltd

Following the successful delivery of Finchetto's world first all-optical network switch for telecommunications networks in Phase 1 of the Future Telecoms Challenge, Phase 2 will further develop the technology for application in the data communications space targeting the HPC and AI market sectors. The technology will be miniaturised and readied for high-v...

Finchetto has developed the world's first entirely passive ethernet network switch. The first prototype was funded by an InnovateUK SMART grant and delivers 40x lower latency, rate-unlimited switching (there is no electronic switching control so switching is done at the speed of the surrounding transceivers), all for 26x lower power than state-of-the-art....

Finchetto is a UK-based photonic computation SME. Data centres account for around 2% of global electricity consumption, and usage is growing rapidly, with a 10-fold increase expected by 2050\. Almost a quarter of this energy use is attributable to network switches. The current world-leading switches are coupled with optical transceivers to improve data pr...
