The optical edge is a $250M opportunity.
Solphio Edge replaces GPU compute with photonics at the harsh edge. We've built a defensible moat from abandoned Sony & Panasonic optical disc lines — turning e-waste into edge supercomputers at < $50 BOM.

Competetive landscape
The Edge Optics 'Blue Ocean'The competitive landscape is a sea of red, but we're sailing in clear waters.
The Digital Incumbents
High Power / Edge
Companies: NVIDIA Jetson, Google Edge TPU
Flaw: Trapped by the 'Power Wall'. Still consume 15W–50W, killing drone batteries and overheating.
The Optical Disruptors
High Cost / Cloud
Companies: Lightmatter, Ayar Labs, GlobalFoundries
Flaw: Obsessed with $20,000+ chips for LLM training. Too expensive, fragile, and complex for the Edge.
Solphio
Low Power / Edge
Solphio: The Only Optical Edge AI
Our game: Fixed-function, macro-optical inference. Light for physical pattern matching at <2 Watts and <$50.
The Legacy Giants
Low Cost / Storage
Companies: Sony, Panasonic, Folio Photonics
Flaw: View discs strictly as passive storage, missing the computational physics.

Roadmap
From physics engine to datacenter rack.
A clear four-phase strategy to build, validate, and scale optical co-processing.
Digital Twin
Physics simulation engine validated against real-world sensor data. Securing data partnerships and calibrating the optical model.
Dev Kit
First physical Solphio Edge V1 development kits ship to early partners. SaaS platform launches for signature compilation.
Solphio Edge Box
Ruggedised product for agricultural drone OEMs and precision farming. Volume manufacturing via supply chain partners.
Solphio Jukebox Datacenter Rack
Scale the optical co-processing architecture into rack-mounted datacenter units for high-throughput inference workloads and cold search archival solutions.
