MWC 2026 marked a defining moment. Photonics is reshaping the foundation of computing, where performance and efficiency advance together.

Photonics Unlocks an Intelligent, Power-Optimized Future Akira Shimada, President and CEO, Representative Member of the Board, NTT At MWC, one idea resonated strongly: the future of AI depends on the infrastructure behind it. AI is advancing at speed. But energy and scalability are becoming real constraints. Photonics represents a fundamental shift. Moving from electrical to optical architectures reduces power consumption at its source and enables performance that can scale more sustainably. The same logic applies to quantum, where optical approaches point toward more practical, real-world impact. The next competitive edge will not come from adding more compute, but from building smarter foundations. #MWC2026 © 2026 GSMA / MWC

MWC Barcelona has concluded. This year, we demonstrated that photonics is moving beyond research and into the architectural foundation required for the AI era. As AI workloads scale, infrastructure is becoming the defining constraint. Performance, energy efficiency, resilience, and security must be engineered together. Photonics enables that shift. By fundamentally redefining how data moves, it supports higher bandwidth, lower signal loss, and improved power efficiency at scale. This is not a technology upgrade. It is an infrastructure transition. The showcase may be over. Deployment is advancing. If you are rethinking your AI infrastructure strategy, explore how photonics is shaping a power-optimized, resilient foundation for what comes next.

If you missed Akira Shimada's keynote at #MWC26, you can now watch it now. The President and CEO of NTT, Inc. shared how photonics and IOWN technologies can power the next era of AI while reducing energy consumption and strengthening digital infrastructure.
