TonoEdge™ —
AI at the
Network Edge
A compact 3 kW disaggregated inference node — SuperNIC-ready, AI-RAN compatible, and designed as a distributed edge AI fabric for telco PoPs, street cabinets, and enterprise premises. Sovereign AI. Zero-trust. Scale-across ready.
An AI Grid node in 3 kW
TonoEdge™ is a production-ready edge inference node that plugs directly into Tonomia’s distributed AI Grid. Two NVIDIA RTX 6000 GPUs deliver disaggregated inference with workload-aware routing managed by TonoFabric™ — and BlueField-class infrastructure processing keeps networking, storage, and security offloaded from the GPU compute.
Deployable in 5–20 weeks at a fraction of traditional data center cost. Every node is a sovereign, zero-trust, always-on member of the AI Grid.
The case for a distributed AI fabric
⚠ The Centralised Problem
Hyperscale data centers route every AI request across long-haul networks — adding latency, consuming bandwidth, and creating single points of failure. Grid power constraints are delaying deployments by years. Sovereignty is impossible.
AI-RAN and Physical AI workloads need compute at the source — not 200ms away in a cloud region.
✦ The Scale-Across Shift
TonoEdge™ places disaggregated inference at every PoP, cabinet, and site — interconnected via the Tonomia AI Grid. Workloads are routed intelligently: latency-sensitive tasks run at the edge, heavy training lifts to TonoForge™ factories.
to AI-RAN Operators
Telcos already operate the world’s largest distributed infrastructure — powered, connected, and geographically dense. TonoEdge™ converts that footprint into a distributed edge AI fabric: base stations become AI-RAN nodes, central offices become AI Grid PoPs, and street cabinets serve agentic AI to thousands of users at sub-millisecond latency.
No greenfield investment. No grid bottlenecks. Just accelerated computing where the users already are.
- AI-RAN: run AI inference co-located with RAN on a shared accelerated platform
- Distributed UPF and virtualised network functions on the same node
- AIOps agents for self-configuration, self-healing, and network optimisation
- 5× lower CAPEX — 5 to 20 week deployment from order to live
Permanent TonoEdge™ installations bring physical AI and agentic workloads to fixed sites. Each node supports up to 1,000 concurrent users with full N+1 redundancy, zero-trust tenant isolation, and NIM microservice delivery — no cloud dependency.
- Factories and Industry — physical AI for quality control and predictive maintenance
- Hospitals — sovereign GDPR compute for medical imaging and diagnostics
- University Campuses — on-premise agentic AI for research acceleration
- Smart Cities — real-time inference for traffic, environment, and safety
- Street Cabinets and Telecom Towers — AI Grid PoP at the last mile
- Transport Hubs and Airports — low-latency agentic services at scale
The TonoEdge™ mobile configuration brings disaggregated AI inference to locations without permanent infrastructure. Satellite-connected and ruggedised for field conditions — live within hours of arrival.
- Events and large public gatherings — real-time video AI and crowd intelligence
- Disaster response zones — autonomous agentic AI without cloud dependency
- Remote mining, oil and gas — predictive maintenance at the edge
- Temporary project sites — full AI Grid node, satellite-connected

Why TonoEdge™
The infrastructure behind
Physical World AI
Every TonoEdge™ node is the foundation for TonoPhysic™ — Tonomia’s platform that brings AI into the physical world. Homes, workplaces, campuses, and industrial environments become AI-native, with inference running locally, data staying sovereign, and intelligence acting in real time.
Full-stack AI Grid ecosystem
TonoEdge™ is built on best-in-class components — NVIDIA accelerated compute and BlueField infrastructure processing, high-performance servers, and Proximus-grade telco connectivity — orchestrated by TonoFabric™ across the entire AI Grid.
