DriveNets to Shine at FYUZ 26: A Gathering of Networking Innovators

In a significant move for the telecommunications landscape, DriveNets, a prominent player in large-scale networking solutions, has confirmed its participation in FYUZ 26, an esteemed event organized by the Telecom Infra Project (TIP). Scheduled for November 3-5, 2026, this year's gathering will occur at The Westin in Seattle, bringing together key operators and suppliers from the industry.

The Panel: A Focus on AI Fabrics and Networking Innovations

One of the major highlights of FYUZ 26 will be a panel discussion titled "From Backbone Networks to AI Fabrics: The Disaggregation Playbook." This session is set for the first day of the event, November 3, from 2:20 PM to 3:15 PM, and will feature influential speakers. Among them is Dudy Cohen, VP of Product Marketing at DriveNets, who is ready to share valuable insights into the current state of disaggregated routing technologies.

Joining him will be other industry leaders, including Rehan Karim from AT&T, Kenji Kumaki of KDDI, and Hasan Siraj from Broadcom. Collectively, they will evaluate the maturity of disaggregated routing and how these architectures can be optimized to support advanced AI backend fabrics. The discussion promises to explore various aspects, including procurement strategies and deployment models related to Disaggregated Distributed Backbone Router (DDBR) implementations.

The Importance of Scheduled-Fabric Architecture

An essential focus of the panel will be how scheduled-fabric architecture contributes to lossless Ethernet, ensuring that no GPU sits idle due to network delays. This is a critical factor for AI-driven environments where performance continuity is paramount. As AI becomes increasingly integral to various sectors, understanding how to maximize GPU utilization through robust networking infrastructures becomes essential.

Proven Deployments from Industry Leaders

The panelists will reference proven DDBR deployment experiences. AT&T has already integrated DriveNets' innovative Network Cloud into its IP-MPLS core backbone, enhancing efficiency and performance. Meanwhile, KDDI has been operational with DriveNets software in its peering routers since June 2023 and formalized a strategic partnership in May 2025 to implement DriveNets solutions in core routers across multiple locations. These real-world applications underline the viability and effectiveness of the technologies being discussed at FYUZ 26.

Additional Presentations and Networking Opportunities

In addition to the panel participation, DriveNets will showcase its offerings at the FYUZ exhibition, where it will present a session titled "The Service Provider AI Opportunity" on Wednesday, November 4, at 2 PM. This session aims to delve deeper into the potential for service providers to leverage AI technologies to enhance their service offerings, reflecting the future direction of telecommunications and networking.
