Company profile
Finchetto
Guildford company developing passive all-optical photonic integrated circuit switches for data centre networks, aimed at reducing power use in artificial intelligence infrastructure.
Company overview
Finchetto is a Guildford-based company that has developed a passive, all-optical network switch for data centres and high-performance computing. The technology is designed to address the increasing energy consumption and performance bottlenecks in network infrastructure, particularly for artificial intelligence (AI) applications. By using a fully optical architecture that eliminates electronic components for the switching logic, the company's product aims to significantly reduce power usage and latency. Finchetto's switch operates with completely passive logic, delivering packet switching with very low port-to-port latency. The system is intended to support next-generation network topologies for massively distributed computing. The company is registered in England and Wales and located at the Surrey Technology Centre.
