EdgeQ
CEO: Vinay Ravuri
Santa Clara, Calif.-based EdgeQ came out of stealth mode in November with what it’s calling the world’s first 5G Base Station-on-a-chip--with the goal of bringing AI to the edge of the network with 5G. EdgeQ offers its AI-5G SoC for building 5G private wireless networks for IoT and industrial use cases, while the semiconductor startup’s RISC-V-based chip can perform AI functions for edge computing applications and improve network capabilities. The startup is led by former Broadcom, Intel and Qualcomm executives including its CEO Vinay Ravuri who left Qualcomm as vice president of product management in 2018 to create EdgeQ.
