Data center developers are poised to spend trillions by 2030, but one company is betting on fiber that’s three and a half microseconds faster than the competition.
Relativity Networks has raised $22 million to bring hollow-core fiber to data centers. This innovative technology transmits light through a vacuum chamber in the center of the line, potentially reducing latency by 30% compared to conventional fiber.
The CEO, Jason Eisenholz, sees this as a game-changer for multi-campus deployments and the future of AI compute projects. As distances between GPUs grow, even microseconds matter. The third era of AI is here: optimizing geography itself.
For developers, it means they can now span 30% greater distances before latency becomes an issue. This could be a major shift for data center buildouts and the industry at large.
