What happened
Relativity Networks announced a $22 million SAFE financing and said it secured a $40 million follow-on order from an unnamed hyperscaler for its ChronoCore hollow-core optical fiber technology. The company also highlighted a manufacturing milestone with Prysmian producing its highest-density hollow-core cable to date.
Why it matters
Hollow-core fiber reduces propagation delay and is being positioned as a low-latency option for distributed AI and multi-campus data‑center deployments; this raise plus a hyperscaler order signals early commercial validation and supplier consolidation for next‑gen fiber targeted at hyperscalers.
