One cell,
one brain.
A private 5G network with an on-premises AI brain at the edge. AiraGrid connects your machines on licensed airwaves, spectrum you control rather than share, and makes decisions on-site in milliseconds: perception, sensing, and a live model of the whole operation. Your data never leaves the fence.
Consumer Wi-Fi was never built for an industrial site.
Most sites still run on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi: free public airwaves that anyone nearby can see, share, or jam. Traffic fights for the channel, drops into dead zones behind steel, and your data leaves the site to be processed in a distant cloud, seconds away.
A private AI-RAN is different: the radio network is yours, and the AI runs inside it, on-site. Airwaves you license and control, coverage planned from the site map, and every decision made beside the machines it affects.
Prove the engine in the lab. Attach the radio. Light up the site.
No moonshot promises, and no forklift upgrade of your operation on day one. AiraGrid is built the way serious infrastructure is built: proven layer by layer, with the numbers shown at each step and labelled for what they are.
Prove the RAN engine on Intel hardware
The build starts with the RAN engine, the software that runs the radio network on Intel CPUs and standard Intel server hardware, on an on-site node in our lab, with support for the n257 and n258 bands. In link-level simulation the receiver processes a 5G slot in 0.29 ms: a lab number, quoted as one, and the headroom that lets one box run the network and the AI together.
Attach a compatible radio unit
The radio hardware supplies the airwaves: licensed spectrum, massive MIMO antenna arrays, and beamforming, hundreds of tiny antenna elements aiming a focused beam at each device like a spotlight with no moving parts. Millimetre-wave, a very high band that carries far more data over shorter distances, is the high-capacity option where the licence and radio support it.
Run the site's AI on the same platform
With the radio path validated, the same Intel node hosts the site's intelligence: safety vision, positioning, and the live world-model of the operation. Applications switch on one at a time, each measured against the radio, spectrum, and layout of your specific site before it carries anything that matters.
A private network is a claim about reliability, and reliability is earned per site. Every number AiraGrid publishes is labelled: physics, a published industry fact, or a measurement from our own lab. Deployment figures are verified on your site, against your radio and your spectrum, before they go in a contract. Uplink is always quoted beside downlink.
Built for the sites where wireless actually breaks.
Ports
Steel stacks block Wi-Fi. Coverage planned from the yard map, focused beams that follow the machines, a live position for every container and vehicle, and control traffic that holds up between the cranes.
Mining
Autonomous haul trucks and drills need a link that stays up. Low-latency targets are set in the lab, then verified against the pit itself before autonomy expands, and the safety layer watches every exclusion zone continuously.
Energy
Faults flagged while they are still building, not after the breakdown. Predictive monitoring across the plant, inspection drones on a private link, and operational data that never leaves the perimeter.
Manufacturing
Robot cells and lines move in hours instead of weeks, because they run on wireless instead of floor cabling. On-site vision spots defects and hazards the moment they appear and alerts the operator with the exact location.
AiraGrid is built for industry across South America: ports, mines, plants, farms, and factories, with spectrum matched to each country's licensing rules rather than assumed.
"Private" is an engineering claim, not a marketing word.
Anyone can demo a network. Running one that carries machine control in production takes an architecture built for it. Every AiraGrid deployment is built on these four principles.
A self-optimizing network
Once the radio boundary is proven, AI helps steer the beams, predict movement, and tune the network continuously, faster than any manual optimization could keep up with a moving site.
One box, two jobs
The same Intel platform hosts the network and the site's AI: safety vision, autonomy support, live analytics. One set of CPUs does two jobs, and your hardware never sits idle.
Reconfigurable, not replaced
New capability arrives as software updates, with radio parts you swap module by module on the path to 6G. You upgrade the network, you do not rip it out.
Your data stays yours
Sensing, positioning, and AI all run inside your fence. Your operational data is processed on-site, under your control, reachable only by your own people. That is sovereignty, not a settings toggle.
Four things millimetre-wave buys that no lower band can.
Millimetre-wave (5G's FR2 bands n258 and n257, near 26 to 28 GHz) runs far higher than ordinary 5G or Wi-Fi. That costs reach, and it buys four things. AiraGrid treats it as an option matched to each country's licence and each site's radio, never as a universal default.
A far wider lane for data
FR2 channels (n258 at 26 GHz, n257 at 28 GHz) are far wider than anything a lower band can offer, giving the private network headroom for vehicle fleets, cameras, and sensor traffic all at once.
Short slots for fast control loops
FR2 timing can use 0.125 ms slots, the over-the-air step that makes sub-millisecond response possible. Full loop latency still depends on the radio, fronthaul, and application, and is measured per site.
Beams aimed at each device
Dense massive MIMO arrays aim focused beams electronically, like a spotlight with no moving parts. Multiple simultaneous spatial streams extend useful reach and let many more devices share the same air.
Locates and senses like radar
Short wavelengths and wide spectrum sharpen positioning and sensing, the engineering path toward centimetre-class site awareness. Where the radio supports it, one signal both moves data and senses motion; the industry calls this ISAC.
Questions about AiraGrid
What is AiraGrid?
AiraGrid is a private AI-RAN platform being built for industry across South America. RAN is the radio network itself; AI-RAN means the AI runs inside that network, on the same on-site hardware. One private 5G cell connects the site, and one on-premises AI brain makes decisions in milliseconds, with your data kept inside the fence.
Is this something I can buy today?
Honestly: the RAN engine runs in our lab today on Intel CPUs and standard Intel hardware, with support for the n257 and n258 bands, and the radio integration path is specified. Field deployments are being scoped with early partners now. If you run a port, mine, plant, or farm, the right first step is a site conversation. We will map what works today and tell you plainly what is still on the bench.
Do I need millimetre-wave?
No. Millimetre-wave is a very high band of airwaves that carries far more data over shorter distances. It is the high-capacity option where the country's licence and the radio hardware support it. Many sites start on licensed or locally authorized mid-band spectrum and add mmWave where the density demands it.
Where does my data go?
Nowhere, unless you send it. Sensing, positioning, and AI all run on the on-site node. Your operational data is processed inside the fence, under your control, reachable only by your own people. Only what you choose to export ever crosses the backhaul, the link from your site to the wider internet.
What happens when something needs a person?
The network alerts your operators, with location and context attached: a person in an exclusion zone pages the safety lead with the exact spot, a bearing fault flags maintenance before the breakdown. The AI acts on-site where the rules allow it and hands the judgment calls to your people, never silently.
How is this different from carrier private 5G?
A carrier package typically hauls your traffic to the carrier's core and the carrier's cloud, and the intelligence lives there too. AiraGrid keeps the core, the AI, and the data on your property. You own the network, and the brain sits beside the machines it controls.
