MARQUEE Wireless Inc., a company specializing in integration and deployment of cellular, IoT and edge computing technologies for cellular networks and Smart Cities, and Veea Inc. (NASDAQ: VEEA), a pioneer in hyperconverged Multiaccess Edge Computing (MEC) with AI-driven cybersecurity and edge solutions, announced a partnership for a visionary initiative to roll out a transformative solution based on MARQUEE’s patented SMARTCELL™ platform supported by Veea’s Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) to accelerate the introduction of MEC solutions with Edge AI as an extension of cellular network infrastructure.

"It is a pleasure to work with the Veea team to extend the capabilities of our revolutionary, modular SMARTCELL™ platform for cellular networks and Smart Cities with IoT, Mobile-Edge computing and AI," said Dimitrios Lalos, MARQUEE’s founder and CEO. "The MARQUEE team is pioneering advancements in the deployment of cellular solutions enhanced with innovative, fully patented technology. Our combined knowledge, expertise and products will make its mark for the cellular industry together with Veea’s first-of-a-kind technologies in AI-driven cybersecure connectivity with network slicing to protect the Smart City endpoints at the edge, and preserve data privacy by processing raw data for innovative applications with Edge AI locally in SMARTCELLs with process automation and energy monitoring for sustainable and efficient urban centers."

MARQUEE offers comprehensive, turnkey SMARTCELL deployments that extend cellular network coverage for mobile network operators with edge-cloud managed value-added services. The SMARTCELL™ provides the wireless carriers unprecedented flexibility blended with innovative, aesthetically pleasing, ergonomic solutions such as modularity, digital displays with contextual advertising, EV charging stations, kiosks and surveillance cameras enabling the deployment of Cellular MACRO, MINI-MACRO, and MOBILE EDGE sites enhanced with Smart City and IoT Solutions into America’s main streets. MARQUEE has contractual agreements with AT&T and Verizon for deployment of SMARTCELL in urban centers. The SMARTCELL™ platform offers more capacity and coverage as compared with Small Cell poles because of the large space availability inside the platform, which among others makes deployment of advanced antennas for massive MIMO with a large number of antenna elements for beamforming in urban centers more practical.

“We are most excited to be partnering with MARQUEE Wireless in its implementation of a cybersecure hyperconverged MEC platform with Edge AI for Smart Cities with a highly innovative usage-based business model for datafication-to-monetization of contextual edge data collected through MARQUEE’s SMARTCELLs,” stated Allen Salmasi, co-founder and CEO of Veea. “The notion of a cellular network extended with Edge AI-driven applications is truly revolutionary as it ultimately can allow the cellular industry to capitalize on a range of Smart City edge-managed applications including a wide range of subscription-based Wi-Fi and IoT services with cybersecurity and very low latency.”

Veea’s full-stack MEC middleware enables DePIN architecture, supporting Web3 protocols with Veea’s vTBA™-based cybersecure peer-to-peer networking, blockchain technology, and decentralized data storage, together with applications that benefit from federated learning for inferencing and training of mobile-edge “Contextual AI” models together with network slicing over 5G networks. Honeywell Tridium’s Niagara Building Management System (BMS), providing for a SaaS offering of energy monitoring and management with process automation, is an example of such an edge-managed application running on VeeaHub products with Edge AI, which enables data collection, real-time monitoring, and advanced analytics to provide insights into energy usage patterns, enabling informed decision-making and targeted interventions for renewable energy solutions, energy storage systems, smart lighting, smart grids, energy-efficient buildings, EV chargers, and others. Smart cities, served by cellular networks and the combined capabilities of Veea Edge Platform and SMARTCELL, can leverage automation and advanced energy management systems to optimize energy usage, minimize its carbon footprint, and ultimately strive towards a Net Zero emissions goal, by utilizing data-driven insights to control and regulate energy consumption across different urban sectors such as public infrastructure, transportation, and commercial buildings.
