BlockBeats News, September 8 - According to Bloomberg, Celero Communications, a network chip manufacturer, has completed a $275 million funding round, valuing the company at over $3 billion post-funding. As market demand for improving the operational efficiency of AI data centers continues to grow, Celero is benefiting from this trend.

The funding round, expected to be announced on Tuesday, was co-led by Atreides Management, Valor Equity Partners, and CapitalG, the venture capital arm of Alphabet. Gavin Baker, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer at Atreides, will join Celero's board of directors.
