EdgeQ develops a "Base Station-on-a-Chip" that converges 4G and 5G with on‑chip AI and provides a production-grade PHY for O-RAN Distributed Units and small cells. Its massively integrated 4G+5G+AI chip leverages RISC-V and ARM architectures to compress a rack of base station equipment into a small, power-efficient package. The platform is multi-mode and software-upgradeable, intended to enable wholesale upgrades without ripping and replacing existing network configurations and to reduce vendor lock-in. EdgeQ states the solution is available now and that customer deployments are expected this year. The company plans to use the new funding to ramp production to meet customer demand and to develop its next-generation chip. EdgeQ is headquartered in Santa Clara, CA, with offices in San Diego and Bangalore and is led by executives from Qualcomm, Intel, and Broadcom. EdgeQ is building a systems‑on‑a‑chip that integrates 5G connectivity and on‑board AI while operating within a tight power envelope and remaining reprogrammable. The product is still under development and the company has not disclosed full technical details. Founding CEO Vinay Ravuri and other senior engineers previously worked at Qualcomm, Intel and Broadcom. EdgeQ envisions applications such as security cameras, drones, and robotic machinery that need synchronized wireless communication, local compute, and precise location. The company has offices in Santa Clara, San Diego and Bangalore, India. To date EdgeQ has raised $51 million across a seed and Series A to fund continued product development and commercialization efforts.
