Hollow-Core Fiber Networks
Optical cables that transmit light through air channels for ultra-low latency.
By guiding light through a hollow core rather than solid glass, these cables allow signals to travel at nearly the speed of light in a vacuum (c), approximately 50% faster than standard fiber. They drastically reduce latency for high-frequency trading, AI clusters, and real-time remote surgery.
