EdgeNectar provides plug-and-play private 5G solutions for enterprises, powered by AI.
One-touch deployment. Zero-touch operation.
Our founders’ backgrounds in mobile communications infrastructure and distributed cloud platforms led us to form EdgeNectar with the intention of bringing private mobile networks with 5G capabilities to the enterprise, in order to improve operations and increase ROI. EdgeNectar designs and deploys cost-effective, secure 4G/5G private mobile networks — core and radio — with fully automated network operations.
Why EdgeNectar?
An experienced management team with broad competence across telecom and cloud, including Ericsson, Sony, VMware, HPE, and Palo Alto Networks.
A software-as-a-service company: simple to deploy, easy to manage, supporting both cloud and on-premises deployment options.
A scalable architecture that grows from 100 to 100,000 connected devices without a change of platform.
A go-to-market built on partnership — reaching customers through channel partners and system integrators.
A recurring-revenue model built around a three-year license, with online demo, ordering, and technical support.
Four ways EdgeNectar changes how your site runs
The same four outcomes we build every deployment around.
Productivity
Increase Productivity
Robots and AI systems that never stall. Low-latency, always-on 5G keeps AGVs and production lines moving around the clock.
Cost
Reduce Network OPEX
One-touch deployment and self-optimizing AI mean no dedicated network team to install, monitor, or maintain anything.
Reliability
Minimize Downtime
Patented AI predicts issues before operations are affected.
Security
Strengthen Security
Private, on-premises control of critical data and devices.
Built on patented technology
EdgeNectar holds five issued U.S. patents, developed by our own engineering team, covering the neural query processing, self-learning knowledge systems, and feedback-driven learning that our AIDEN runs on.
