Physical AI

Bonded connectivity for Physical AI, everywhere the machine goes.

AMR fleets, humanoids, inspection drones, and autonomous vehicles all run on wireless links that were never built for continuous machine traffic. Speedify bonds Wi-Fi, private 5G, cellular, and satellite into one encrypted connection that carries teleoperation, sensor offload, and fleet updates without dropping the session, natively on QNX and other embedded real-time systems.

01 · The Problem

Every Physical AI fleet hits the same wall.

Autonomy moved onto the machine. Connectivity didn't. A robot decides where to put its feet locally, but everything that makes it improve, coordinate, or be supervised crosses a wireless link, and that link is the one part of the stack nobody designed for something that never stops moving.

Plus, the environments are hostile in ways the network diagram never shows. A warehouse AMR crosses dozens of access points per shift, and every roam is a chance for the session to reset. A humanoid in a retail space is on guest Wi-Fi it doesn't control. An inspection drone works at the edge of cellular. Agricultural and mining autonomy operates past the last tower entirely.

Physical AI's bottleneck isn't compute. It's getting data off the machine.

02 · The Solution

One resilient stream, from any combination of links.

Speedify bonds every IP-capable link on the machine into a single encrypted connection at the packet level: facility Wi-Fi, private 5G or CBRS, carrier LTE and 5G across multiple SIMs, Starlink where there's sky and no tower, and wired Ethernet at the dock. Every session draws on every active link at once, and when one degrades the others absorb the traffic in milliseconds.
  • Independent radios don't fail together
    A Wi-Fi roam, a carrier handover, and a satellite handoff are uncorrelated events. At least one path stays healthy through each of them.
  • No single operator controls reachability
    Carrier-diverse SIMs alongside private 5G and facility Wi-Fi means no one network, access point, or tower decides whether the fleet is reachable.
  • Control traffic stays separate from bulk
    Per-link priority keeps teleoperation commands and video on the lowest-latency link while training data upload takes whatever capacity is left.
  • Encrypted without disturbing segmentation
    AES-256-GCM end to end. OT and IT separation, private 5G slices, and certified safety network paths are unchanged, because Speedify operates at the WAN layer above them.
// the BENEFIT

The session survives the roam.

A machine leaving one access point for the next, or dropping from Wi-Fi to cellular at the edge of a building, normally means a new address and a broken session. Every layer above pays for it. The MQTT connection reconnects. The WebRTC feed renegotiates. The fleet management plane briefly sees the machine as gone and then as new. The operator sees a black frame.

With Speedify, the machine holds one persistent encrypted session and one outward-facing identity across every underlying link change. The radios change. The session doesn't.

03 · WORKLOADS

Four jobs the link has to do, usually at the same time.

Offload is the bottleneck, but it isn't the only thing on the link. Three more workloads share the same radios, with conflicting profiles. Bonding plus per-link priority is what lets them coexist without one starving the others.
01 / fleet data ingest

Terabytes off the machine without starving the control path

The data a fleet generates is the asset, and it's useless sitting on a robot's local disk. Bonded uplinks turn every available connection into aggregate upload capacity, while per-link rules keep bulk transfer on idle or unmetered links so it never competes with an active session.
02 / teleoperation

A control path that fails over faster than the operator can react

Whether the operator is driving directly or giving high-level guidance, the loop is video up and commands down, and neither tolerates a gap. Bonded links give the control channel redundant paths with independent failure modes, so a tower handover or an access point roam doesn't become a frozen frame.
03 / policy updates

Multi-gigabyte payloads that land completely, or not at all

A partial model download is worse than none. Pushing a new policy means large transfers to machines that are moving, docking, and roaming throughout the window. Bonding keeps the transfer alive across those transitions instead of restarting it, and adds the throughput that fits a fleet rollout inside one maintenance window.
04 / telemetry and safety

The channel has to exist at the moment the event does

Fleet health, intervention events, and safety logs are the lowest bandwidth and the highest consequence. They're also the most likely to be lost, because incidents and connectivity problems correlate: the machine in trouble is often the one in the bad RF environment.

04 · ENVIRONMENTS

Built for wherever the machine goes.

Speedify is configuration-agnostic. Bond any number of links in any combination, and the balance shifts continuously as the machine moves. What stays constant is that no single link covers the whole environment.

Warehouse and intralogistics

Wi-Fi + private 5G
An AMR crosses dozens of access points per shift. Cellular carries the session through each roam, so dead zones behind racking stop being map annotations the fleet has to route around.

Humanoids and service robots

Guest Wi-Fi + carrier cellular
A machine deployed into someone else's building is on a network you can't audit or fix. Bonded cellular means reachability doesn't depend on it, and fallback engages without a site visit.

Outdoor and off-grid autonomy

Starlink + perimeter cellular
Agriculture, mining, construction, and inspection work past the last tower. The same bonding that absorbs a satellite handoff absorbs the dust, weather, and equipment obstructions that come with the job.

Autonomous vehicles and delivery

Multi-SIM, carrier-diverse
No single carrier is best everywhere along a route. Bonding uses whichever networks are strong at each point, so crossing a coverage boundary isn't a handover the application layer can see.

05 · Deployment

Three ways to put Speedify on the machine.

Unlike most Speedify deployments, this one usually ends at the embedded layer, because the buyer is shipping a product rather than managing an IT estate.

Embedded

Integrate bonding directly into the machine's own software with the Speedify SDK. No separate appliance, no per-device install, and no dependency on the customer's network setup. The bonding logic ships as part of your product.

Native on QNX, plus Linux and other embedded targets, built to run inside real-time constraints on resource-limited automotive-grade hardware.

Most common for robotics platform teams and OEMs.

Network level

Run Speedify on the machine's onboard router or at the facility edge, so everything behind it inherits the bonded uplink with no per-device work. Supported OpenWrt hardware with a Speedify for Routers license, or Powered by Speedify devices.
Best for retrofits and mixed fleets from multiple vendors.

Device level

Install the Speedify app on the machine's onboard compute, a teleoperation console, or a field engineering workstation. Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
Best for pilots, and for the operator side of a teleop link, which teams routinely forget is also a failure mode.
