Hyderabad, Telangana: Blue Cloud Softech Solutions Limited (BSE: 539607), an emerging leader in AI and Cybersecurity with robust capabilities in cloud computing, digital infrastructure, enterprise solutions, and state-of-the-art 5G technologies, is delighted to announce that Following the earlier strategic cooperation agreement between Blue Cloud Softech Solutions Limited (BCSSL) and Byte Eclipse Technologies Inc., USA, the companies have taken the next milestone step by entering into a formal Joint Venture (JV) for the design, manufacture, and global commercialization of Edge-AI microprocessor chipsets, using proprietary intellectual property secured under a Technology Transfer (ToT) agreement from an Israeli R&D partner.
Under this Joint Venture, BCSSL will design and manufacture a next-generation Edge-AI Chip, code-named “EclipseX1”, targeting high-reliability, low-latency AI applications. Byte Eclipse Technologies Inc. will mobilize its sales network across the United States and Europe to commercialize the solution within specific industry verticals including Industrial Automation IoT, Automotive Telematics & Control Modules (TCM), and EV charging infrastructure.
The Joint Venture carries an initial term of five (5) years, with geographical exclusivity granted to Byte Eclipse within the defined sectors for the US and European markets. The partnership is expected to create a business potential in the range of US $65 – 80 million over the term of the agreement, covering custom chip sales, licensing, and integration services.
Technology Overview: EclipseX1 Edge-AI Microchip Architecture:
• Custom SoC (System-on-Chip) fabric using multicore RISC-V CPU and integrated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) optimized for AI inference on the edge.
• 12 TOPS AI compute performance at under 10 W power consumption.
• Built-in Security Engine with TEE/HSM for trusted execution and data encryption.
