Celero builds coherent digital signal processors that give AI data centers high-bandwidth, low-power optical connections across accelerator clusters and between data centers.
As AI clusters expand from thousands to millions of accelerators, Celero says traditional interconnects are hitting bandwidth, reach, fiber-efficiency and power limits, making networking a bottleneck. Its validated 2nm coherent DSP architecture is designed to move from 1.6T to 3.2T links, and the $275 million Series C takes total capital raised to $415 million to fund R&D, product development and production readiness.
