Where attested inference goes to work
Attested Infrastructure Inference deploys in two zones: at the meter, where SecureGrid S-Series (roadmap) protects measurement and utility revenue through the TrustCore Trust Continuum, and at the compute node, where InferEdge NPUs run JBIA - ICSM-managed completion under Energy Contract, INT8/INT4 execution, and Proof-Carrying Inference export for systems that cannot depend on the cloud. SecureGrid and InferEdge are in development - not shipping silicon.
Revenue protection starts inside the meter
Utilities across the Global South lose a significant share of generated power to non-technical losses — bypassed meters, tampered firmware, spoofed readings. SecureGrid™ S-Series is the roadmap answer: measurement encrypted at capture, exported as Proof-Carrying measurement attestation through the TrustCore Trust Continuum — verified ingest, not trust on belief. Architecture and FPGA validation path are in development; no shipping SecureGrid silicon yet.
-
01
Encrypted Capture
Metrology encrypted at the AFE under tamper mesh — sub-2 W field envelope.
-
02
Attestation Bundle
Signed Proof-Carrying measurement with per-die PUF identity and anti-rollback.
-
03
Verified Ingest
Cryptographically verified readings the utility can bill — not readings it must believe.
Untrusted readings cannot be billed. SecureGrid S-Series is designed to export signed measurement attestation through the TrustCore Trust Continuum — cryptographically verifiable at the head-end, resilient through brownouts and tamper. Pre-silicon: architecture defined, FPGA validation on the roadmap.
SecureGrid ArchitectureInference where the infrastructure isn't
InferEdge™ is designed to run quantized AI workloads entirely at the edge — within a sub-15 W envelope, without assuming cloud connectivity. Models run locally, results sync when the network returns, and the architecture targets the heat and power conditions of real field deployments. InferEdge remains in development on the AII roadmap.
Agriculture
Crop disease detection, soil and irrigation analytics, and pest identification on solar-powered field units — inference at the farm, not in a data center a continent away.
Health
Point-of-care diagnostics and medical imaging triage for clinics with intermittent power and no reliable uplink — patient data stays local, protected by the hardware root of trust.
Industry
Predictive maintenance, visual inspection, and process monitoring for plants and telecom sites where every watt is budgeted and downtime is measured in revenue.
Sovereign trust for national-scale systems
Digital ID, payment switches, POS, and mobile money converge at the transaction boundary. TrustCore extends the Trust Continuum into national platforms — verifiable root of trust in silicon, PUF identity per terminal, attestation at every admit. No attestation, no trusted transaction. TrustCore is on the AII roadmap — architecture first, silicon later.
TrustCore Root of TrustTrusted compute with a transparent supply chain
For defense and critical national infrastructure, the provenance of the silicon is part of the threat model. Nelix designs for full supply-chain transparency — from RTL to package — with tamper evidence, measured boot, and a security architecture that can be independently reviewed by the institutions that depend on it.
Security Architecture| Provenance | Design authority and documentation held end-to-end |
| Tamper | Mesh + sensors; events preserved as signed evidence |
| Boot | Measured, attested, anti-rollback by default |
| Isolation | Operates fully disconnected; no cloud dependency |
| Review | Architecture open to accredited third-party audit |
Applications
Connected Mobility
Electric fleets and connected vehicles across Africa need real-time AI that runs on-device, not in a distant cloud. Our chips deliver edge intelligence for mobility systems built for harsh roads and extreme heat.
Sovereign Infrastructure
National ID systems, utility networks, and government platforms require silicon that can be trusted and audited. Our chips provide the hardware root of trust for Africa's most critical digital infrastructure.
Defense & National Security
Military and security applications demand the highest levels of trust and transparency. Our chips are designed for environments where supply chain integrity is non-negotiable.
Health & Diagnostics
Rural clinics need AI diagnostics that work without reliable internet. Our chips run medical imaging models at the point of care, delivering results in milliseconds with patient data that never leaves the device.
AgriTech & Food Security
Crop disease spreads faster than a farmer can reach an extension officer. Our chips enable instant plant health analysis from cameras and drones, detecting threats at the field edge before yields are lost.
Finance & Digital Commerce
Millions of transactions cross Africa's mobile money networks daily on unverified hardware. Our chips bring PUF-authenticated security to POS terminals, digital banking, and financial infrastructure at the silicon level.
