Relativity Networks raises $22 million to bring a faster kind of fiber to data centers
Relativity Networks deals in hollow-core fiber, a rarely deployed technology that allows data to be transmitted 30% faster than conventional fiber.
TL;DR
- Relativity Networks raised $22 million in SAFE note funding to deploy hollow-core fiber.
- Hollow-core fiber transmits data 30% faster than conventional fiber by sending light through a vacuum.
- This speed increase reduces latency, allowing data centers to span larger distances.
- The technology offers a solution for hyperscale AI compute which requires synchronization across geographically distributed facilities.
- Relativity Networks anticipates this will enable a new era of optimizing data center geography.
