The Global Race to Build AI Infrastructure — and Why T1Nexus Is the Partner of Choice

T1Nexus Partner

Across the globe, governments and private sector leaders are accelerating their investments in AI and high-performance computing (HPC). From national strategies to hyperscale buildouts, data centers have become the epicenter of digital transformation — and the backbone of AI readiness.

This is especially true in the United States, where recent policy shifts and landmark investments are reshaping the landscape. But the momentum isn’t limited to North America. Europe, Asia, and emerging markets are also ramping up capacity, creating a global surge in demand for scalable, resilient, and AI-optimized infrastructure.

Policy, Investment, and Urgency: A Perfect Storm for Growth

In the U.S., the federal government has prioritized AI infrastructure as a strategic imperative. New permitting frameworks, access to federal land, and relaxed environmental regulations are designed to fast-track development — especially for projects exceeding 100MW or $500M in capital expenditure.

Private investment is keeping pace. The Stargate Project, backed by OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle, is injecting $500 billion into advanced AI infrastructure, with flagship deployments already live in Texas and more on the horizon.

Globally, the story is similar. Nations are racing to establish AI dominance, and data center capacity is the currency of that ambition. Yet with vacancy rates shrinking and power constraints mounting, operators face a critical challenge: how to build faster, smarter, and more sustainably.

The Lead Time Dilemma — and the T1Nexus Advantage

As demand outpaces supply, lead times have become the Achilles’ heel of AI infrastructure. Long waits for OEM components, rigid vendor lock-in, and fragmented supply chains are slowing progress — and threatening ROI.

That’s where T1Nexus comes in.

We specialize in AI and HPC-ready interconnect solutions that are:

  • Pre-qualified and inventory-ready — minimizing delays and accelerating deployment
  • Performance-matched to OEMs — without the lock-in or inflated costs
  • Engineered for scale — supporting hyperscale rack builds, neocloud fabrics, and complex AI environments
  • Optimized for sustainability — with low-power, high-density options and compliance built in

Whether you’re building in Abilene, Abu Dhabi, or Amsterdam, T1Nexus delivers the speed, quality, and flexibility you need to stay ahead.

Purpose-Built for AI Factories

Our portfolio includes transceivers and interconnect components designed specifically for AI workloads:

  • 800G OSFP SR8: Multimode solution for short distances, that can also be broken out into 2x400G or 8x100G
  • 800G OSFP DR8Singlemode solution for up to 500m with options to breakout to 2x400G or 8x100G
  • 800G OSFP 2XFR4: Offers extended reach (up to 2km) with ubiquitous LC connectors — reducing cabling complexity and installation time
  • Round-the-clock engineering support: Ensures seamless integration during and after buildout
     

These aren’t just components — they’re strategic enablers of AI scale.

Ready to Build What’s Next

T1Nexus has supported global data center growth for years, but today’s AI era demands more than just experience. It demands agility, foresight, and a partner who understands the urgency of scale.

We’re here to help operators take the next step — with interconnect solutions that deliver performance, speed, and trust.

Let’s build the infrastructure of the future. Faster.
