RANOVUS, a start-up based in Ottawa, Ontario, announced $11 million in venture funding for its multi-terabit interconnect solutions for data center and communications networks.
RANOVUS’ platform is enabled by the company’s iQuantum Dot Multi-Wavelength Laser technology combined with advanced digital and photonics integrated circuit technologies. The company says its technology delivers significant reduction in power dissipation, size and cost of interconnects, enabling a much higher degree of distortion tolerance compared to traditional solutions. The company has not yet announced any products.
Investors include Azure Capital Partners, T-Venture, BDC Venture Capital, OMERS Ventures and MaRS Investment Accelerator Fund.
