Orbius Introduces the StarEDGE Edge-Cloud Solution for AI Accessibility Everywhere

Orbius Communications, a prominent multi-LEO (Low Earth Orbit) operator based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, has unveiled an innovative Edge-Cloud solution designed to harness the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) globally via its StarEDGE platform. This strategic enhancement integrates satellite and terrestrial network capabilities with advanced Edge computing technology, effectively broadening the horizons for businesses and governmental agencies worldwide.

For the first time, users of the StarEDGE platform can deploy a completely integrated stack, combining multi-LEO satellite connectivity with the modular computing facilities developed by Armada. This unification paves the way for achieving sophisticated Edge computing and AI functionalities even in the most remote locations around the globe.

With this cutting-edge offering, AI is no longer relegated to centralized cloud infrastructures, as Orbius, now an official partner in the Armada ecosystem, empowers organizations to efficiently process vast data volumes, make real-time decisions, and scale from a singular remote site to a robust global network of interconnected AI nodes. This is underpinned by Orbius's unique Private Network Interconnect (PNI) capabilities, which utilize LEO satellite constellations and route user traffic through Layer-2 paths terminating in regional data centers instead of the public Internet. Such an approach ensures that data remains secure throughout its journey, from satellite links to Edge workload applications.

According to industry reports, Edge computing is one of the fastest-growing sectors within the business landscape, with expectations that global expenditure will soar to over $317 billion by 2031. This trend reflects a broader migration of AI and real-time processing from centralized data centers directly to operational on-site environments. The ability to leverage carrier-grade multi-LEO connectivity, especially for sectors operating in remote or highly regulated scenarios—such as shipping, telecommunications, and energy—provides a significant strategic advantage, empowering organizations to fully tap into AI's transformative potential across their entire operations.

Halldor Sigurdsson, CEO of Orbius, commented on the innovation, stating, "For far too long, critical remote applications—such as ship operations, ensuring network availability, and 24/7 monitoring of remote facilities—have been hampered by connectivity issues and the lack of real-time computing capacities. This era is now over. The combination of our StarEDGE multi-LEO platform with Armada’s solutions eradicates the distance barrier, allowing our customers to access high-speed connections and the full capabilities of Edge-based AI regardless of their operational locales, on land or at sea."

Dan Wright, co-founder and CEO of Armada, also expressed his enthusiasm for this partnership. He remarked, "With Orbius, Armada has a unique opportunity to dismantle a long-standing barrier between satellite and computing providers. Whether in open seas, conflict zones, or disaster response scenarios, our comprehensive offerings provide customers with a single partner for their entire signal-to-decision chain, rather than having to assemble solutions piecemeal."

Benefits of the Orbius-Armada Full-Stack Solution

The collaboration between Orbius and Armada offers a range of advantages to clients in various sectors including maritime, energy, government, telecommunications, and corporate environments:

• - Rapid Business Value Realization: AI-enabled operations can be established within weeks, as opposed to years typically required for legacy data centers, thereby creating immediate value for businesses.
• - Tailored Edge Solutions: A robust, modular, and transportable infrastructure, combined with global multi-LEO, 5G/LTE, and HTS connectivity, specifically engineered for deployment in remote field conditions.
• - Data Sovereignty: Data and decision processes are retained on-site, within the organization, or within national borders, ensuring compliance and control required by regulated industries.
• - Scalable Operations: Companies can start with a single site and expand to a full global fleet as they grow without redesigning connectivity or computing capabilities.
• - Unified Support: A singular solution encompasses both networking and computing capabilities, delivered with standardized integrations, secure APIs, proactive NOC monitoring, and contractually defined SLAs, minimizing integration risks and simplifying vendor coordination.

The Orbius-Armada solution is now available for customers across various industries, supported by Orbius's offices in the United States, Iceland, Brazil, Ireland, France, Spain, Norway, and the United Arab Emirates. For further information, visit Orbius.com and StarEDGE.com.
