Nubis

Nubis Communications is a co-packaged optics (CPO) and silicon-photonics semiconductor startup building high-density, low-power optical interconnects for AI, machine-learning, and hyperscale data-center systems. Its technology places optics directly next to switch and accelerator ASICs to move data at very high bandwidth with dramatically lower energy per bit than pluggable optics. The company (originally at nubis-inc.com) has been absorbed into Ciena, whose optics-for-co-packaged-applications product line now carries the work; the former Nubis domain redirects to Ciena. As a fabless hardware / photonics-IP company it exposes no public developer API, SDK, OpenAPI specification, or developer portal, so no API artifacts apply to this record.

Nubis is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Semiconductors, Optical Interconnects, Co-Packaged Optics, and Silicon Photonics.
