# Point2 Technology

> Point2 Technology is a San Jose-based fabless semiconductor company building ultra-low-power, low-latency interconnect chips and cables for AI/ML data centers. Its e-Tube platform sends data as radio-frequency signals through plastic waveguides - a third path between copper and optics - and its smart-retimer SoCs power 800G and 1.6T active electrical cables. Founded in 2016 by a KAIST professor and veterans of Marvell, Finisar and Samsung, the company has drawn investment from NVIDIA's NVentures, Bosch Ventures, Molex and UMC.

## Products & services

- **e-Tube Platform** — A patented RF-signaling architecture that transmits data over plastic waveguides, enabling a new class of Active RF Cables (ARCs) with roughly 10x the reach of copper, lower weight and volume, lower power and cost, and no lasers to fail.
- **P1B121 Smart Retimer SoC** — Mixed-signal retimer integrating eight unidirectional SerDes channels with smart CDR/retimer functions supporting 112G PAM4 and 56G NRZ, purpose-built for 800G and 1.6T Active Electrical Cables in hyperscale AI/ML data centers.
- **UltraWire 56G PAM4 Smart Retimer** — Ultra-low-power clock-and-data-recovery retimer for active electrical cables.
- **UltraRange 25G EDC SoC** — Electronic dispersion compensation system-on-chip for high-speed optical and cable links.
- **C-Tube 400G AEC Reference Platform** — Reference design platform for 400G active electrical cable systems.
