Relativity Networks Raises $22 Million To Bring Faster Hollow Fiber to Data Centers
Local power grid bottlenecks have forced AI operators to split computing clusters across far-flung regions. Relativity Networks raises $22 million to implement hollow-core fibers to connect data centers faster.

Relativity Networks has secured $22 million in funding to deploy hollow-core fibers, aiming to connect data centers more swiftly. This funding round, led by Rhapsody Venture Partners and joined by Bell Ventures Inc. and Faster Than Glass LLC, is facilitated through a $40 million follow-on order from a major hyperscaler. Hollow-core fiber technology, which transmits light through a vacuum chamber, promises a 30% reduction in latency compared to traditional glass fibers, shaving off about 1.5 microseconds per kilometer.
With the global data center buildout projected to reach $4 trillion by the end of the decade, power grid constraints and site approval issues are increasingly limiting expansion. By enabling connections between distant sites with near-light-speed data transfer, Relativity Networks believes its technology addresses the next frontier in AI infrastructure optimization, allowing for the synchronization of geographically dispersed data centers and enhancing the scalability of AI systems.
