Lintes Technology's next-gen AI server near-packaged interconnect solution integrates a co-shared NPC/NPO Socket platform to optimize bandwidth, flexibility, and routing.
TAIPEI, June 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lintes Technology (TWSE: 6715), a global leader in high-bandwidth connectivity solutions, today announced the launch of its comprehensive, modular optoelectronic interconnect solution for next-generation AI servers. Addressing the critical bottleneck of high-density data centers, the platform encompasses both Near-Packaged Copper (NPC) and Near-Packaged Optics (NPO) technologies, featuring a shared patented socket architecture.
Unlike conventional hardware designs with fixed interface configurations, this innovative architecture empowers data center operators with infrastructure flexibility. The platform enables direct selection between optical and electronic interfaces within a single system, allowing operators to configure the channel count and bandwidth allocation routed through either NPC or NPO via individual sockets based on actual data throughput requirements. This breakthrough significantly optimizes system routing agility and cost-efficiency for next-generation AI infrastructure.
Bridging the CPO Market Gap
As AI workloads continue to drive demand for higher computing performance, conventional transmission architectures are approaching practical limits in bandwidth, power, and system design. While Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) remains a key area of industry focus, challenges related to optical engine yield, ASIC integration, and cost efficiency are expected to delay large-scale deployment.
In contrast, Lintes's near-packaged interconnect solutions have already completed design validation and are sampling with customers. This makes the platform a concrete, immediately deployable solution for high-density AI servers, effectively bridging the technological gap as the industry transitions to advanced architectures.
Modular Near-Packaged Interconnect for AI Scalable Bandwidth
To meet the 100T aggregate bandwidth demands of AI chips, Lintes's near-packaged interconnect solutions utilize a patented socket design that simultaneously supports both NPO and NPC. A single socket delivers a transmission bandwidth of up to 6.4T. Depending on specific server and data center infrastructures, this bandwidth can be flexibly configured as four 1.6T or eight 800G transmission paths, helping customers adapt to high-bandwidth, modular, and scalable AI system requirements.
This flexible architecture supports both transmission modes based on distance, cost, and layout requirements:
- Intra-Server and Intra-Rack Transmission (Scale-up): Operators can deploy NPC to connect with other AI chips or PCIe signal connectors. This can be paired with rack cabling options such as DAC, AEC, AOC, and ACC, leveraging copper's cost efficiency and deployment maturity to satisfy high-speed interconnect needs within servers and racks.
- Cross-Rack Long-Distance Networking (Scale-out): The system can adopt NPO and be paired with high-density multi-fiber connectors like MPO, MTP, and MMC to meet the demands of cross-rack extensions, data center horizontal scaling, and high-bandwidth optical interconnects.
Through this modular and platform-based design, Lintes enables AI server and data center customers to flexibly implement near-packaged interconnect solutions for varied computing demands, transmission distances, and deployment costs, while minimizing major changes to existing system architectures and cable configurations.
US$84 Million Capital Expenditure Approved to Target 2027 Volume Production
To support this growth, Lintes's Board of Directors approved an annual capital expenditure budget of up to approximately US$84 million (NT$2.65 billion) on June 11, 2026. This capital will be allocated toward cleanroom renovations for a new manufacturing facility and the procurement of multi-channel, multi-mode, and single-mode optical module production equipment, expanding advanced hardware manufacturing capacities.
With these near-packaged interconnect solutions already sampling with customers, the company aims to align with customer deployment schedules and achieve volume production by 2027, transforming these technological breakthroughs into long-term operational momentum.

Lintes Technology Unveils Shared NPC and NPO Interconnect Platform for Next-Generation AI Servers
BEIJING, June 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- J-Elephant, a pioneer in vertical pallet robot (VPR) technology, announced that it has received a strategic investment from Geek+, a global leader in warehouse robotics, and entered into a strategic partnership to accelerate the adoption of pallet warehouse automation worldwide.
The partnership brings together two complementary players in the global smart logistics sector. J-Elephant will tap into Geek+'s established worldwide sales, deployment, and service network to accelerate product deployment and overseas growth. In turn, Geek+ will fold J-Elephant's VPR technology into its offerings, addressing growing demand for low-infrastructure pallet warehouse automation while strengthening its competitiveness across a broader range of warehouse applications.
I. Growing Demand for low-infrastructure Pallet Warehouse Automation
Pallets are the foundational unit of factory production lines and warehouse logistics. As such, high-density pallet storage automation has become one of the fastest-growing segments in the global smart logistics market. Yet conventional automated high-bay warehouse systems carry prohibitive costs: substantial capital outlays, extended installation periods, and incompatibility with legacy facilities. These hurdles have long kept automation out of reach for the majority of warehouses worldwide. What the market urgently needs is a solution that is infrastructure-light, quick to deploy, and delivers fast ROI—without requiring extensive facility upgrades.
J-Elephant's proprietary VPR directly addresses these challenges. With reliable storage and retrieval at heights of 4 to 11 meters, ultra-narrow-aisle capability, zone-by-zone deployment without production downtime, and low upfront investment, the company has carved a new path in flexible pallet automation. For Geek+, a veteran with deep global autonomous mobile robot (AMR) market experience, the long-term growth potential of flexible pallet automation has been unmistakable. This partnership reflects the growing demand for flexible, cost-effective pallet warehouse automation solutions worldwide.
II. Ecosystem Synergy: Strengthening the Global Product Foundation
The partnership goes beyond technology sharing—it is a concerted effort to make high-density pallet storage automation more accessible and cost-effective, bridging the gap between large-scale enterprises and small-to-medium manufacturers. At the same time, the collaboration enables J-Elephant to expand its technical capabilities and solution portfolio in three key areas:
- Open-Architecture Integration
By optimizing standard communication protocols on an open architecture, the VPR system can now seamlessly integrate with Geek+ and third-party warehouse orchestration platforms. This enables end-to-end coordination across pallet storage, movement, and picking—all within a single unified workflow. - Expanded Product Portfolio
The company continues to push the boundaries of pallet storage height and storage density, while introducing new high-lift, narrow-aisle models designed specifically for international markets. The result is a full product matrix that meets diverse operational requirements across all major global regions. - Enhanced Solution Versatility
J-Elephant has developed standardized, deployable solution packages tailored for greenfield warehouses, brownfield retrofits, and multi-story facilities. These turnkey systems are purpose-built for high-value industries including manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and renewable energy.
III. Global Expansion: Strengthening Competitiveness in Intelligent Robotics
Through this partnership, J-Elephant gains immediate access to Geek+'s established sales, delivery, and service and support network across more than 40 countries. This accelerates the global deployment of VPR systems with three clear advantages: lower implementation costs, shorter lead times, and greater operational flexibility—directly addressing the digital transformation needs of manufacturing and logistics companies worldwide.
More importantly, this collaboration marks a strategic shift for China's warehouse automation industry from simply exporting products to exporting an entire ecosystem—strengthening the global position of Chinese intelligent robotics within the broader logistics supply chain.
