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

Relativity Networks 宣布获得 2200 万美元融资，旨在推广传输速度比传统光纤快 50% 的空心光纤技术。该公司由 Rhapsody Venture Partners、Bell Ventures Inc. 及 Faster Than Glass LLC 等机构投资，并获一家未具名的领先超大规模云服务商 4000 万美元追加订单。空心光纤利用真空腔体传输光信号，将单公里传输延迟从约 5 微秒降至 3.5 微秒，有助于缓解因政治和电力限制导致的数据中心选址难题。CEO Jason Eichenholz 指出，随着 AI 计算规模扩大及多校区部署需求增加，该技术可让开发者在降低延迟影响的前提下跨越更远距离，优化数据中心地理布局。
