About Us
We’re transforming how and where data centers can grow with Hollow Core Fiber technology.
Relativity Networks was founded to solve one of the most urgent challenges in the AI era: the power-scaling problem. By replacing glass with air in our Hollow Core Fiber (HCF), we’ve redefined the speed of light in fiber optics — enabling data to move faster while unlocking entirely new possibilities for data center growth.
Big Swings Change the World
Relativity Networks was founded on the belief that bold ideas can reshape entire industries. With more than 40 years of combined experience in optical innovation, Jason Eichenholz and Rodrigo Amezcua Correa have pushed the boundaries of what’s possible in Hollow Core Fiber (HCF) technology — Jason as a leader in commercialization and Rodrigo as a pioneer in the science behind HCF.
Together, Jason and Rodrigo are blending commercialization savvy with technical brilliance to deliver real-world solutions for the AI-driven economy.

Jason Eichenholz
Jason Eichenholz is a serial entrepreneur, executive and recognized pioneer in laser and photonics-enabled innovation. With a Ph.D. in Optical Sciences and Engineering from CREOL, the College of Optics and Photonics at the University of Central Florida, Jason has spent more than three decades at the forefront of transformative technologies.
As the co-founder and former Chief Technology Officer of Luminar Technologies, Jason helped redefine autonomous vehicle safety with lidar technology. Under his leadership, Luminar became a publicly traded company on Nasdaq, raising over $1 billion in funding. Jason’s expertise in turning groundbreaking research into scalable solutions is now driving Relativity Networks’ mission to revolutionize fiber optics with Hollow Core Fiber technology.
When he’s not reshaping industries, Jason dedicates himself to serving others — as a volunteer firefighter and EMT, and through his greatest passion: the Jonathan’s Landing Foundation, a residential community he founded for his son Jonathan and 500 other adults with autism.
Rodrigo Amezcua Correa
Rodrigo Amezcua Correa is the co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Relativity Networks, pioneering hollow core fiber technologies for more than 20 years. As a professor at CREOL, the College of Optics and Photonics at the University of Central Florida, Rodrigo and his lab developed the breakthrough hollow-core fibers that now power Relativity Networks’ technology.
Rodrigo earned his Ph.D. in Fiber Optics from the University of Southampton’s Optoelectronics Research Centre and has published more than 150 journal articles in the field. His extensive research on optical fiber and laser systems, supported by multiple government programs, builds on his early work at the University of Bath and Power Laser Photonics, where he developed high-power laser systems.
Today, Rodrigo is focused on transforming his groundbreaking research into scalable solutions that are reshaping the future of data center connectivity.

Partnerships
Commercialization Partnerships
Relativity Networks is commercializing over 10 years and more than $10 million of research funding at CREOL, the College of Optics and Photonics at the University of Central Florida, one of the world’s leading optics and photonics research institutions. Alongside this foundational work, we’ve teamed up with manufacturers, hyperscalers, and commercialization partners to rapidly scale HCF production and deployment — because the future doesn’t wait.
