The Hardware Behind the AI Explosion with Coherent

AI is dominating the headlines, but what about the physical infrastructure actually running it? In this episode, John Lynch is joined by Giorgio Ghislotti, VP of Sales EMEA at Coherent, to talk about the physical “picks and shovels” of the AI gold rush. Tune in for an inside look at how global supply chains, next-gen lasers, and multi-terabit link speeds are being shaped by the AI revolution.

Building an AI Factory Is a Stack Problem, Not a Shopping List

Standing up an AI factory often means juggling more than a dozen separate vendors across compute, networking, storage and software, each with its own support line and compatibility quirks. EPS Global AI argues that this piecemeal approach adds unnecessary risk and delay. The alternative is a validated infrastructure stack that brings every layer together under one accountable partner.

Drone Navigation with Broadcom Time-of-Flight Sensors

Our latest blog looks at Broadcom's AFBR-S50 Time-of-Flight sensor — a 12×12×8 mm, 1 g module built for GPS-denied drone navigation. Over 100 m range, reliable in full sunlight at 200 klux, 3 kHz frame rate and Class 1 eye-safe. From altitude hold and indoor navigation to jam-resistant triggering on counter-UAS interceptors, ToF is becoming a key layer in drone sensing stacks.

Why Networking Is the New Bottleneck for Distributed AI Inference

As AI shifts from massive centralized training clusters to distributed, latency-sensitive inference, the network is quickly becoming the next infrastructure bottleneck. EPS Global's Alan Fagan and MaiaEdge's Tim Lieto explore why a single weak link or poorly designed topology can disrupt an entire agentic AI workflow.

EPS Global AI: One Validated Stack, One Partner

AI factories rarely stall on GPUs — they stall on everything around them: the optics, switches, fabric, cabling, power and cooling that turn racks of silicon into a working system. We have launched EPS Global AI to solve exactly that, assembling every layer into one validated stack, sourced, stocked and supported from 28 locations worldwide.

NeoCloud, Power Constraints, and the Shift to Distributed AI

Power availability is becoming one of the biggest physical constraints on AI scaling. MaiaEdge's Tim Lieto explains that the search for sufficient power grid capacity is pushing data centers into new regions altogether. At the same time, the growth of inference-based use cases means processing needs to happen closer to the end user. Together, these two pressures are accelerating the move toward a more distributed AI infrastructure model.

AI Revenue on Track for $400 Billion: Rethinking Data Center Design

AI revenue is forecast by Synergy to grow from $25 billion to $400 billion by 2031. MaiaEdge's Tim Lieto joins EPS Global's Alan Fagan to discuss the shift away from massive, single-tenant hyperscale facilities toward distributed, multi-tenant sites — driven by the need to manage real-world power constraints while still serving enterprise customers reliably.

The Data Center Land Grab Is Over: What Comes Next

For a long time the race in tech infrastructure was all about acquisition: securing space, power and cooling. Matt Free from Aria Networks tells EPS Global's Alan Fagan the industry has moved into phase two — efficiency and yield. He likens wasted compute to a leaky irrigation system: you can build the most impressive infrastructure in the world, but if compute is being wasted, the business is losing money.

Celebrating Sean Butterly's Gold Medal at the ICF Canoe Sprint Junior World Championships

EPS Global Young Athlete Sean Butterly delivered a historic performance at the ICF Canoe Sprint Junior World Championships in Canada, taking gold in the K1 1000 m and securing Ireland's first-ever medal at that distance. The win continues a strong run, following a 2025 season that included gold in the Junior Men's K1 at the ICF Canoe Marathon World Championships in Hungary and a nomination for RTÉ Young Sportsperson of the Year. EPS Global is proud to support Sean on his journey.
