Point2 Technology, a developer of RF-based interconnect solutions for AI data-center infrastructure, announced an additional extension of its Series B financing. The round was led by LB Investment, with new strategic participation from Arm and continued support from existing investors including Maverick Silicon. The new capital brings total Series B financing to $136 million.
The investment expands the company’s roster of backers, which includes NVIDIA, Arm, UMC Capital, Molex, Bosch Ventures, and other new and existing investors.
Point2 will use the funding to bolster its engineering, systems, operations, and business teams to accelerate the commercialization of its Active RF Cable (ARC), near-packaged e-Tube (NPE) and co-packaged e-Tube (CPE) solutions for future rack-scale compute systems.
Sean Park, Co-Founder and CEO of Point2 Technology, said: “As AI systems scale and bandwidth demands reach terabit-per-second speeds, interconnect has become the defining bottleneck. The latest investment from Arm, LB Investment, Maverick Silicon, and others validates that our e-Tube platform is emerging as a critical interconnect solution for next-generation AI data factories.”
Paul Williamson, SVP, Strategic Ventures at Arm, said: “The next generation of AI infrastructure will rely on advances across the entire technology stack, from compute to memory and interconnect. Point2 is addressing an increasingly important challenge as AI systems scale, and we are pleased to support their work in advancing the technologies that will underpin the future of AI infrastructure.”
Kiho Park, CEO of LB Investment, said: “As AI data centers push toward larger, more power-efficient compute clusters, interconnect has become a critical infrastructure challenge. Point2’s innovative platform is helping to solve this challenge by enabling tomorrow’s scalable, energy-efficient data-center infrastructure. We look forward to supporting the company as it moves toward broad commercialization.”
Josh Miner, Principal at Maverick Silicon, said: “Through our ongoing engagement with Point2, the company continues to demonstrate strong technology leadership to address the enormous opportunity in AI infrastructure. Our continued investment reflects strong confidence in Point2’s RF-based approach and its potential to deliver next-generation AI interconnect solutions that meet the performance, efficiency and cost requirements of hyperscalers and accelerator vendors.”
Point2’s e-Tube Technology Platform is built on a well-patented RF signaling architecture that transmits data over plastic waveguides, enabling Active RF Cables (ARCs). According to the company, e-Tube delivers 10X the reach, 5X lower weight, and 2X lower cable volume than copper at a comparable cost; 3X lower power, 3X lower cost, and 1000X lower latency than optics without the reliability issues of failing lasers; and scalable bandwidth density designed for accelerator-to-accelerator compute fabric and rack-scale interconnects, with form factors spanning pluggable cables, near-packaged e-Tube (NPE), and co-packaged e-Tube (CPE) module solutions.
