With the explosion of artificial intelligence (AI), language learning models and connected devices, the need for the collection and processing of real-time data massive data sets and connectivity at the edge has never been greater. Our mission at 375ai is to address these needs by building the world’s first decentralized edge data intelligence network. 

Today we’re excited to announce the launch of 375edge, an advanced edge AI node designed to collect and analyze multimodal data in real-time with unparalleled efficiency and accuracy. 375edge is now available to the public for purchase with provided installation services.

375ai was created to meet the rising demand for actionable insights that can be gained from massive data sets at the edge. By leveraging AI, high-value physical locations, and decentralization, 375ai is poised to capitalize on the $317 billion global spending IDC forecasts will be spent on edge computing by 2026.

375edge

375edge devices are manufactured with an array of high-resolution cameras, environmental sensors, and other capabilities to collect a broad range of multi-modal data, including visual information. Embedded Wi-Fi and connectivity sensors measure signal strength and quality, and GPS capabilities help with precise geolocation data. The nodes then leverage NVIDIA GPUs to locally transform these data assets into summarized and queried insights

What makes 375edge special?

  • Captures environmental and traffic data: including vehicle make, model, type, count and synchronized environmental metrics
  • Leverages advanced AI algorithms to process data at the edge, reducing latency and providing real-insights
  • Offers Quick Deployment: users have access to to rapid installation services to help them join the 375edge network across Outfront Media’s 40,000 billboards in the United States

“We are at the forefront of an AI-driven future state, which offers immense potential for both businesses and consumers to gather enormous amounts of data, derive valuable pattern insights, and generate rewards,” said Harry Dewhirst, 375ai CEO and Co-Founder. “The public release of our 375edge devices, combined with an extensive North America real estate portfolio via our exclusive OUTFRONT Media partnership, uniquely positions us to capitalize on the immense market opportunity ahead.”

Real Estate Network

375’s partnership with Outfront media enables the 375 network to scale quickly and reach a significant portion of the United States population. 

“At OUTFRONT, we have thousands of locations across the U.S., which can be used by responsible partners such as 375ai to reach seven out of 10 Americans weekly,”
— Andy Sriubas, OUTFRONT Media Inc. Chief Commercial Officer.
“Our footprint, combined with 375ai’s technology, can serve as a catalyst for the continued advancement of edge computing and connected devices.”

The 375ai team has developed the operational capability to deploy and manage complex hardware and software networks across this real estate portfolio, having deployed approximately 110 enterprise-grade 5G radios across 55 sites in 9 cities to date. The experience installing Helium devices at scale and access to Outfront media’s immense real estate portfolio enables the 375ai network to expand quickly and efficiently. 

Data Demand

As 375ai builds its edge data intelligence network, the data collected will be made available for purchase by enterprises, civic, state and local governments, freight and logistics companies, autonomous vehicle companies, and advertising agencies. This initiative will empower these entities to drive informed decisions, foster innovation, and propel research efforts. 375ai takes a privacy-first approach and ensures that any personally identifiable information collected is scrubbed and/or de-identified at the edge. 

Seed Funding

To-date, 375ai has raised $5 million in seed funding from 6th Man Ventures, Factor, Arca, EV3, Primal Capital, and Auros. These funds have been used for the launch of the 375edge hardware, the 375ai Foundation, and 375go app.

About

375ai is a leading developer of decentralized wireless and edge infrastructure, dedicated to building the world's first and largest decentralized edge data intelligence network. With a focus on innovative AI-driven data transfer, 375ai aims to transform how data is collected, analyzed, and monetized at the edge.
