The networking specialist said it will join a telecom-industry panel at the Telecom Infra Project’s FYUZ 26 event in Seattle as the sector focuses on scaling connectivity for AI-linked workloads.
DriveNets said it will take part in FYUZ 26, the Telecom Infra Project’s (TIP) flagship event, running November 3 to 5, 2026 at The Westin Seattle. In a brief announcement tied to the event, the company described its theme as moving “from backbone networks to AI fabrics,” a framing that indicates how telecom operators and vendors are repositioning large-scale infrastructure for data-hungry applications.
FYUZ 26’s agenda includes a panel featuring DriveNets alongside major telecom operators AT&T and KDDI, and chip and infrastructure supplier Broadcom. DriveNets did not outline the panel’s specific questions or the technical format, but its participation indicates it expects to discuss how networking architectures evolve as AI traffic patterns become more demanding.
The announcement places the event as an industry convening point for networking and infrastructure stakeholders. While DriveNets did not publish additional detail in the posting, its message tied the company’s participation to broader industry work aimed at aligning telecom networking capabilities with emerging AI-driven requirements.
Broadcom’s role in the panel underscores the growing overlap between networking hardware, optical and transport technologies, and the compute ecosystem used to run AI workloads. Broadcom is identified in the event listing through the same panel context as AT&T and KDDI, but the company did not provide, in the available materials, any specific commitments, product announcements, or metrics in connection with FYUZ 26.
For DriveNets, a network vendor built for large-scale deployments, the event is likely to serve as a platform to address interoperability and deployment considerations that become more complex as operators seek to modernize “backbone” connectivity and support new “fabric” models. In its described framing, the company indicates that the shift is not just about capacity, but also about architecture and integration across network layers.
Industry participation at TIP events often reflects how vendors and operators coordinate around practical standards and implementation pathways. In this case, the company’s participation alongside large carriers and Broadcom suggests the panel may focus on how networking platforms can be tuned for performance, reliability, and operational scalability as AI expands beyond early pilots.
One limitation is that the announcement does not specify what, if anything, DriveNets or the other panelists will unveil at FYUZ 26. The available information does not include named products, technical specifications, contract awards, or any quantified targets tied to the panel.
What to watch next is whether DriveNets or the other panelists publish more detailed materials closer to November, including session summaries and any associated demonstrations. Observers may also look for follow-on disclosures after FYUZ 26, such as additional program participation, reference architectures, or partner updates that connect “AI fabric” concepts to real network deployments.
