Blaize and BroadSat Technologies Partner to Deliver AI-Powered Video Delivery and Compute at the Edge for Global Telecom and Smart City Infrastructure
Collaboration to transform telecom and broadcast towers into intelligent AI-powered edge compute nodes for real-time video and data delivery worldwide
Blaize Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:BZAI) ("Blaize"), a provider of purpose-built, artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled edge-optimized solutions, and BroadSat Technologies LLC, a leader in broadcast internet and connected infrastructure solutions, today announced a strategic partnership to co-develop and deploy AI-powered edge computing platforms that bring real-time video delivery and compute power to the network edge for telecom and broadcast infrastructure globally.
The partnership introduces AICON Edge, an advanced edge platform that integrates the Blaize Graph Streaming Processor (GSP) into BroadSat's telecom and broadcast tower deployments. The solution transforms traditional infrastructure into intelligent, distributed compute nodes, enabling real-time AI inference, optimized video streaming, and data processing directly at the edge.
"This partnership represents a significant advancement in the future of video and data distribution," said Dinakar Munagala, Co-founder and CEO of Blaize. "By embedding Blaize processor into BroadSat's edge platform, we are enabling real-time compute and decision-making directly at the network edge. This innovation will reduce latency, enhance reliability, and deliver more intelligent content across various environments."
Built for scalability and designed to work with RF, 5G, Broadcast Internet, and IP-based infrastructure, the AICON Edge platform allows telecom operators and broadcasters to deliver high-quality video and data services closer to users, enhancing the performance of Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) and supporting OTT (Over-the-Top) and OTA (Over-the-Air) distribution models.
"We're not just delivering connectivity; we're delivering intelligence at the edge," said Aby Alexander, President & CEO of BroadSat Technologies. "This partnership enables us to bring compute and AI capabilities directly into our global telecom and broadcast infrastructure. With Blaize AI processor inside, BroadSat is advancing its mission to deliver smarter, more connected infrastructure, from the tower to the last mile."
The AICON Edge platform will be deployed across BroadSat's global portfolio of smart infrastructure projects. This deployment will enable governments, enterprises, and telecom providers to roll out AI-driven services for Smart Cities, Public Safety, Precision Agriculture, Telemedicine, Education, and Emergency Response.
Key Capabilities of AICON Edge:
- Embedded Blaize Graph Streaming Processor (GSP) for edge inference and AI processing
- Real-time video delivery and content optimization
- Seamless support for OTT and OTA platforms
- Augmented CDN performance through edge caching and compute
- Multi-layer connectivity: RF, 5G, Broadcast Internet, and IP
- Built for global deployment across towers, nodes, and remote regions
This innovation empowers telecom and broadcast providers to offer enhanced services such as AI-assisted video analytics, rapid emergency response systems, and intelligent traffic management — all at the edge.
