Relativity Networks' funding round highlights how hollow-core fiber addresses latency bottlenecks critical for scaling distributed AI clusters beyond single data center boundaries. By reducing signal travel time, this technology enables efficient multi-campus deployments where physical distance previously limited compute distribution strategies. This infrastructure advancement directly supports the architectural shifts required as hyperscalers distribute massive GPU workloads across geographically separated sites to manage power and cooling constraints.

Relativity Networks raises $22 million to bring a faster kind of fiber to data centers

TechCrunchAugust 19, 20263 min read

Relativity Networks deals in hollow-core fiber, a rarely deployed technology that allows data to be transmitted 30% faster than conventional fiber.

Data center developers are expected to spend as much as $4 trillion by the end of the decade — and they’re already heavily constrained by both political and power-grid considerations in where they can build. But while most treat the speed of fiber as a given, one company is betting that…
