Edge computing is rapidly expanding, with the global market expected to reach $61B+ by 2028. As it expands, the need for localized, high-performance data centers grows. These compact hubs often operate in constrained environments where efficient cooling is essential. Solid state cooling provides the precision and flexibility needed to keep edge data centers running smoothly, even in challenging conditions. By reducing energy usage, and enhancing reliability and compute power, solid state cooling supports the rapid growth of edge computing without compromising on sustainability. The edge of the future is here, and it’s powered by next-gen thermal solutions. #EdgeComputing #NextGenCooling #SustainableTech #SolidStateInnovation

Temperature compliant e-grocery fulfillment without reach-in or standalone refrigeration units is now a reality with Phononic ACS™ Refrigerator and Freezer totes. Grocers deploying the Phononic solution not only get the benefit of actively cooled totes, but have found totes can open up as much as 50% more space as compared to traditional reach-in units for the same order volume. That space can be deployed for incremental order fulfillment, incremental selling sq. ft. and more. Whether it is designing new e-commerce space with Phononic totes at the center, retrofitting existing spaces or phasing out legacy refrigerant-based units for Phononic's no-refrigerant totes, we've seen the full range of use-case applications for our totes. If you haven't fully considered this fresh approach to e-commerce fulfillment, perhaps 2025 is the year for sustainable cold chain compliance for you. #FreshThinking #SolidStateInnovation #EcommerceFulfillment #ColdChainLogistics #SustainableGrocery #SpaceOptimization #RefrigerationTechnology

The market size for #TECs (Thermoelectric coolers) is rapidly expanding. From 400G to 800G and even to 1.6T in some situations, data center demands are expanding transceiver requirements quickly ... and with that comes expanded demand for the TECs that cool those #transceivers. Phononic TECs are at the cutting edge of thermal innovation, with more than 20 million transceivers strong in field. Phononic's highly cost-competitive heat-flow technology delivers up to 30% lower power, representing nearly twice the heat pumping capability. US-based engineering and design expertise paired with high volume Thailand-based manufacturing enable Phononic to deliver industry-leading NPI timetables and opportunity for dedicated NPI lines to meet your customer demand for best-in-class TECs. What's more, our proprietary TEC modeling process accurately predicts product performance during initial testing, resulting in fewer design iterations and faster end product acceptance. Highest quality design & engineering capability meets highest quality results.

"Investment in US data center infrastructure continues to expand in 2025! Microsoft recently announced intent to invest $80B in AI-enabled data centers, and half or more of that is focused on US-based data centers. According to Microsoft Vice Chair and President Brad Smith, "Today, the United States leads the global AI race thanks to the investment of private capital and innovations by American companies of all sizes, from dynamic start-ups to well-established enterprises" Many expect that investment to continue in the US, and recent announcement yesterday of an additional $20B investment by Emirati billionaire yesterday suggests the trend has staying power. With these incremental investments in data centers to support the continue growth in AI and ML will necessarily come a range of additional investment around power supply, cooling capability, and more!

US data center power use could nearly triple, growing to an estimated 12% of the country's electricity consumption by 2028. Indications of this growth have abounded for some time, but it has been recently re-affirmed and deeply quantified by a recent DOE-backed study. If you haven't read the report yet, take the chance now! https://lnkd.in/gKG9ex4m DOE's key strategies for meeting data center energy demand? - Enabling data center flexibility through onsite power generation - Leveraging energy community opportunities - Engaging with stakeholders on innovative rate structures - Commercializing key enabling technologies ... including efficient semiconductor technologies This is an opportunity for the industry at large to address this impending energy bottleneck. Phononic, with solutions approved for all US hyperscaler data centers, has been developing sustainable, efficient cooling solutions for data centers transceivers, rack applications and more and look forward to more innovative solutions to this quickly expanding need. #EnergyEfficiency #Sustainability #MedicalRefrigeration #SolidStateTechnology #Phononic"
