About Arycs Technologies

Arycs Technologies is a U.S. company building power-efficient coherent optical connectivity for AI infrastructure. Led by CEO Roberto Marcoccia and based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Arycs focuses on the network bottleneck created as AI workloads expand from centralized data centers into campus, metro, and edge environments.

The company was formerly the U.S. operations of Dutch photonics firm EFFECT Photonics and later became an independent coherent-optical systems company after a U.S. rebrand. Its core product is a coherent optical connectivity platform aimed at high bandwidth per watt, deterministic performance, and scalable architectures so providers can grow capacity for distributed AI without disruptive network redesigns. Arycs adapts coherent optics—long used in long-haul telecom—for shorter-reach data-center and edge networks serving network service providers and data-center operators facing surging AI and cloud traffic.

Arycs operates a fabless model with supply-chain partners to deliver scalable optical solutions. It sells coherent connectivity platforms to infrastructure providers that need power-efficient, high-bandwidth links for distributed AI networking.
