Semtech Demonstrates AI Data Center Connectivity Expertise at DesignCon 2026

System architects to present power-efficient interconnect solutions for hyperscale AI infrastructure

CAMARILLO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading provider of high-performance semiconductor, Internet of Things (IoT) systems and cloud connectivity service solutions, will showcase artificial intelligence (AI) data center connectivity expertise at DesignCon 2026 (Feb. 24-26, Santa Clara Convention Center) through technical presentations and private demonstrations addressing critical power efficiency and bandwidth challenges in hyperscale deployments.

According to Dell’Oro Group, data center interconnect accounted for the most bandwidth growth over the past year, driven by large deployments from cloud providers. This trend is expected to continue beyond 2026 as hyperscalers expand AI data centers across multiple buildings to tap into different electricity grids for power-hungry GPU compute clusters.

As data center interconnect drives unprecedented bandwidth growth, Semtech’s DesignCon presence reinforces its position as a trusted partner for infrastructure architects navigating the transition to 400G, 800G, and 1.6T interconnects.

“Our customers are navigating unprecedented challenges—scaling GPU clusters while managing power constraints and signal integrity at multi-terabit speeds,” said Amit Thakar, vice president of signal integrity product marketing at Semtech. “DesignCon provides the ideal platform to share technical insights on both copper and optical approaches that help infrastructure architects optimize for performance, efficiency, and scalability.”
