ABOUT EDGEPOINT AI

Edgepoint AI is a new multi-IO platform developed by EDT that brings decades of engineering experience and intellectual property development in key I/O interfaces, fusing them into an Edge AI endpoint for solving challenging use-cases at the industrial and tactical edge.

EDT: Who Are We?

HISTORY

Founded in 1987 as a design services company, today Engineering Design Team (EDT), provides both products and design services into five verticals: Wireless, Telecom, Machine Vision, Industrial Interfaces, and Al.

Signals & I/O Expertise

Since 2001 EDT’s primary focus has been in the SIGINT and EW spaces, providing direct support to the US Department of Defense and adjacent markets, with design services, custom firmware, software solutions, and COTS products.

Solving Problems for Big Customers

EDT PRODUCTS HELP LIGO RESEARCHERS WIN NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSICS

EDT congratulates the winners of the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics, Barry Barish and Kip Thorne (CalTech) and Ranier Weiss (MIT), for their work at Caltech’s Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) using EDT products. Their groundbreaking research and related Nobel Prize win have been followed by virtually every mainstream and science-related news outlet around the world.

Gravitational waves, predicted by Einstein 100 years ago, are cosmic ripples which distort space-time. LIGO uses EDT frame grabbers and fiber extenders / converters (as described in a 2015 paper) to detect these waves. LIGO’s Hartmann Sensor Control System incorporates a 1-megapixel CCD camera outputting 11-bit data at 60 Hz. The resulting 120 MBytes/sec data stream is transferred over the 100-meter distance via an EDT RCX Camera Link fiber-optic extension system, and into the memory of the receiving Linux computer via an EDT PCI Express Camera Link frame grabber.
