Lumen Introduces AI-Powered Network Routing and Quantum Fiber Research Initiatives
Lumen Technologies announced three initiatives on October 29 involving intelligent networking, quantum connectivity research and network security. The most relevant infrastructure development is a collaboration with Emerald AI to enable AI workloads to move between computing locations according to electricity availability, pricing and operational requirements. Lumen is also investing in research with Ohio State University to investigate how its existing fiber infrastructure could support quantum communications over longer distances. The initiatives extend Lumen’s strategy of combining optical transport capacity with programmable network control and software intelligence. They follow the operator’s recently announced automated optical-network services. The company did not disclose investment amounts, participating fiber-route lengths, production deployment dates or demonstrated quantum transmission distances.
