Problems addressed

Centralised AI training violates strict data privacy regulations, incurs heavy network bandwidth overheads, and creates severe latency bottlenecks when streaming data to central servers

Unique Value Proposition

Modular backbone that abstracts away FL orchestration complexity (training rounds, aggregation, trust, scheduling), enabling multi-organisation collaborative AI training while raw data never leaves local infrastructure

Validated UC & Key Performance Benchmark

(Where was it tested, and what exact performance improvement or resource reduction did it achieve?)

Tested in: Integrated into ITML’s 3ACES analytics engine and validated on edge-to-cloud continuum inference testbeds.

Hard metrics:
-50% local memory and CPU compute overhead on edge devices
70% faster learning time
95% guaranteed delay compliance
