About InfiniLink

InfiniLink is a semiconductor company established in 2022 by co-founders Ahmed Aboul-Ella and Botros George, targeting the high-demand market of AI-driven data centers. The firm is legally incorporated in Delaware, USA, with operational sites in Cairo, Egypt, and Dubai, UAE, positioning itself at the crossroads of multiple engineering disciplines including Analog Mixed-Signal, Photonics, and advanced chiplet packaging.

The company's founding team brings extensive experience from the semiconductor industry. CEO Ahmed Aboul-Ella has over 23 years in the field, with a significant part of his career spent as the General Manager of Mixel-Egypt, where he led the development of numerous successful IP releases for top-tier clients and achieved both ISO 9001 and ISO 26262 certifications. CTO Botros George also has more than two decades of experience, specializing in driving deep-tech analog-mixed-signal chip development from concept to full production. His prior role as Senior Director of Product Development at Si-Ware Systems involved spearheading the creation of the world's first chip-scale Optical MEMS Spectrometer.

InfiniLink's core business revolves around the development and commercialization of ultra-high-speed SerDes (Serializer/Deserializer) and optical transceiver chiplets. The company's flagship technology is its Silicon Photonics integrated optical transceiver chiplets (iOTC), designed to overcome the power consumption and scalability limitations inherent in traditional data center interconnects. These chiplets address the critical need for higher bandwidth and greater energy efficiency spurred by the exponential growth of AI and machine learning workloads. The product, iOTC-G1, is an optical transceiver engine optimized for low-power Ethernet and PCIe linear pluggable optical modules. This technology converts electrical signals to optical ones and back, enabling massive data transfer rates with reduced power usage, a crucial value proposition for hyperscale and AI-focused data center operators.

The company's business model focuses on providing these hardware solutions to a market facing a connectivity bottleneck. As AI models become more complex, the demand for low-power, high-bandwidth-density solutions is surging. InfiniLink aims to capture this market by supplying modular chiplet components that can be integrated into next-generation data center infrastructure, such as co-packaged optical engines (CPO) and low-power pluggable transceivers. In April 2025, InfiniLink secured a significant milestone with a $10 million seed funding round. The round was co-led by semiconductor giant MediaTek and Saudi-based Sukna Ventures, with participation from Egypt Ventures and M Empire Angels. This capital is earmarked to accelerate product development, expand the engineering team, scale global operations, and speed up manufacturing and commercialization efforts to meet the rising demand from its target clientele.
