PEAK3 and ASUS IoT Partner to Deliver Next-Generation Broadcast Technology to Edge Computing

PEAK3 and ASUS IoT announced a strategic partnership that will integrate PEAK3's Industrial ATSC 3.0 M.2 Receiver technology into ASUS IoT's hardware platforms, creating new possibilities for smart cities and industrial automation.

The collaboration combines PEAK3's broadcast expertise with ASUS IoT's industrial-grade hardware to address growing demand for real-time data processing at the network edge, particularly in applications where traditional internet connectivity is unreliable or insufficient.

"This partnership allows us to deliver broadcast capabilities directly to edge computing devices, eliminating traditional connectivity bottlenecks," said Alp Sezen, CEO of PEAK3 Spectrum. "By leveraging nationwide ATSC 3.0 broadcast signals, we're creating a reliable data highway for critical applications."

PEAK3's recently launched Industrial ATSC 3.0 M.2 Receiver enables devices to access next-generation broadcast signals without requiring traditional network infrastructure. The company currently utilizes a dedicated 1MB data pipe through an agreement with National Broadcast Group, covering approximately 40% of the U.S., with plans for nationwide expansion in the next 12 months.

Patrick Sung of ASUS IoT said the integration will support applications ranging from smart traffic systems to industrial monitoring. "By embedding PEAK3's receiver technology into our hardware platforms, we're creating devices that can process data in real time regardless of local network conditions."

ASUS IoT brings to the table its extensive expertise in developing industrial-grade hardware solutions. With a portfolio that includes single-board computers (SBCs), mini PCs, and custom IoT solutions, ASUS IoT is well-positioned to integrate PEAK3's M.2 Receiver into its hardware platforms. This integration will enable a new generation of edge devices capable of leveraging ATSC 3.0 broadcast technology for real-time data processing and communication.

The combination of PEAK3's M.2 Receiver and ASUS IoT's hardware platforms opens up new possibilities for smart city applications, transportation, industrial automation, and IoT deployments. For example, in smart cities, this technology can be used to enable real-time traffic monitoring and management. In industrial settings, it can facilitate the seamless integration of IoT devices for predictive maintenance and process optimization.

The partnership addresses several key challenges in edge computing, particularly in environments where traditional internet connectivity is unreliable, expensive, or unavailable. The ATSC 3.0 broadcast standard provides a one-to-many distribution model that can efficiently deliver data to thousands of devices simultaneously.

Market analysts note that this approach could significantly reduce connectivity costs for large-scale IoT deployments while improving reliability for critical applications.
