Networking & Connectivity Chips — Supply-Chain Map

Switch, optics, and connectivity silicon, and the equipment vendors that build it into the routers, switches, and optical links carrying cloud and AI traffic.

Moving data between chips, boards, systems, and buildings depends on dedicated networking and connectivity silicon. Mapped here are the switch, optics-driver, and connectivity-chip designers alongside the equipment vendors that build them into routers, switches, and optical links. Rising bandwidth demand from cloud and AI workloads keeps pressure on this part of the supply chain, linking chipmakers tightly to the system vendors they serve.
