Relativity Networks raises $22M for faster fiber to boost AI data centers · 3 sources tracked

Relativity Networks has secured $22 million in SAFE note funding, with participation from Rhapsody Venture Partners and Bell Ventures Inc., to advance its hollow-core fiber technology. This innovative fiber transmits data 30% faster than conventional methods by using a vacuum chamber, reducing latency from 5 to 3.5 microseconds per kilometer. The company aims to enable data centers, particularly those with distributed AI compute across multiple campuses, to operate more efficiently as synchronized units, potentially alleviating geographical constraints on data center buildouts. AI

IMPACT This faster fiber technology could alleviate geographical constraints for large-scale AI compute deployments across multiple data center campuses.

RANK_REASON Funding round for a company developing infrastructure technology with potential AI applications.
