3 HUBER + SUHNER has opened a 4 new advanced manufacturing facility in Pisary, Poland, dedicated to the large-scale production of its POLATIS optical circuit switches( OCS). The strategic move addresses the soaring global demand for AI and hyperscale data centres.
The new site is set to increase POLATIS OCS production capacity at least fivefold over the next two years. This expansion allows HUBER + SUHNER to capitalise on significant opportunities within the burgeoning AI data centre market. By accelerating the manufacturing speed of its POLATIS OCS portfolio, the company aims to ensure hyperscale operators have access to the cutting-edge technology necessary for enhancing the performance and energy efficiency of modern data centre architectures and AI compute clusters.
“ The opening of our new Pisary facility is a major milestone that aligns with our commitment to innovation and operational excellence in optical networking,” said Jürgen Walter, Chief Operating Officer Communication segment at HUBER + SUHNER.“ Our POLATIS OCS solutions deliver transparent, software-defined dynamic optical connectivity within energy-efficient hyperscale data centres to meet the low loss and latency demands of high-performance AI workloads.”
Rising demand for OCS solutions stems from the rapid growth of hyperscale data center infrastructure across the globe, driven by cloud computing and the increased use of AI.

EDGNEX Data Centers by DAMAC, a global digital infrastructure company backed by the DAMAC
Group, a global conglomerate headquartered in Dubai, has announced the development of a next-generation AI-powered data center in Jakarta, Indonesia, its second in the market. This milestone project marks one of Southeast Asia’ s largest AI-dedicated developments, with a future projected capacity of 144 MW and a total investment of $ 2.3 billion.
Following the land acquisition completed in March 2025 by DAMAC, the site has entered early construction phases, with the facility’ s phase one expected to be ready for service by December 2026. The Jakarta facility will deploy high-density AI racks, setting new benchmarks for next-generation infrastructure in the region. As a foundational asset in Indonesia’ s digital journey, it will be pivotal in accelerating the country’ s transition from an analogue base to a robust, AI-powered digital economy.
Indonesia remains a high-potential Southeast Asian market yet faces digital infrastructure gaps, limited hyperscale readiness and rising latency challenges. With AI adoption accelerating across sectors, this project responds to the nation’ s growing demand for scalable, energy-efficient infrastructure.
