EdgeQ
CEO: Vinay Ravuri
EdgeQ wants to enable the next wave of edge computing and networking by converging 5G connectivity and AI compute onto a system-on-a-chip.
The Santa Clara, Calif.-based startup emerged out of stealth mode in November with $51 million in funding from investors, which included a $38.5 million Series A funding round. The company’s team includes semiconductor, 5G, Wi-Fi and AI industry veterans such as former Qualcomm executive Vinay Ravuri, who is the company’s CEO and founder.
The company said its system-on-a-chip will have open programmability and drive a software-driven development model for OEMs and operators as a result, for existing cellular protocols and beyond. The company’s target markets include manufacturing, construction, energy and automotive.
