The world is becoming increasingly interconnected due to an exponential growth in smart IoT devices. These devices are generating vast amounts of valuable data. AI and machine learning are being used to capture and process this real world data more efficiently and to use this data to create more sophisticated models. Businesses with access to large quantities of high fidelity data have a significant advantage. 

Up until now, collecting high fidelity edge data at scale was prohibitively expensive and challenging. The capex necessary to deploy and maintain this infrastructure was a significant barrier to entry. With the advent of decentralized physical infrastructure networks or DePIN’s, the capex can now be shared across thousands of globally distributed stakeholders and operators, making a seemingly impossible undertaking possible.

Today, we’re excited to announce that 375ai is partnering with AYDO to unlock new opportunities for secure real world data capture and monetization, and fuel the next generation in edge data intelligence. 

Aydo

AYDO is a leading DePIN that connects IoT devices to Web3 by enabling users to stream data from IoT sensors to DePINs. It enables users to monetize the IoT data from over 7,000 types of third-party devices. AYDO makes streaming data from IoT to DePINs seamless, enhancing privacy, and ensuring that users can control and manage their device data securely. 

Almost all of us own devices with cameras and sensors quietly gathering valuable data. We spend hundreds to thousands of dollars on dashcams, street cameras, and phones, and much of the data these devices collect is being used by businesses without any benefit to the consumer. AYDO changes this by connecting 90% of IoT devices to DePIN networks eager to buy and utilize edge data. This enables users to control and monetize their data, transforming their everyday devices into revenue-generating assets.

375ai

The 375ai network is a next generation DePIN built on Solana that leverages AI to enable unprecedented data collection and processing at the edge. The network is composed of multiple form factors including 375edge, 375street, 375vault, and a mobile app 375go. 375edge is an advanced edge node that leverages powerful onboard compute and proprietary AI, video cameras, and sensors, to collect and transform edge data into actionable real time insights. 375street is a more compact edge node designed for urban and suburban environments to collect and process high fidelity traffic and environmental data in real time. These two devices and the 375go app work together to create a comprehensive image of what is happening in the physical world in real time. This coverage is limited however to the amount of devices deployed. 

Unlocking the Edge Together

Integrating AYDO’s network of IoT devices is a significant opportunity for 375ai. By onboarding thousands of IoT devices onto the 375ai network, 375ai can leverage this infrastructure to enhance its own edge data intelligence platform. 375ai’s purpose-built hardware, including edge nodes for street-level and urban deployment, are the foundation of its data intelligence platform. However, as with any data network, there are areas where coverage is sparse where additional sensors can provide greater accuracy. This is where AYDO’s IoT device network comes into play.

By integrating AYDO’s sensors, 375ai can enhance and extend the reach of its network coverage. With access to AYDO’s network, 375ai can capture data where its own hardware is not installed. This means more comprehensive data coverage, improved accuracy, and ultimately, a stronger data intelligence platform.

Additionally, by tapping into AYDO network devices, 375ai can deploy a broader range of sensors. This means incorporating additional environmental, audio and video sensors, which add a new dimension to collected data. This additional layer of rich data can be invaluable for applications like security, smart city initiatives, and environmental monitoring, where comprehensive real-time audio and visual data can provide critical insights.

Closing the loop

This partnership opens up a new revenue stream for AYDO’s network of IoT devices. 375ai has established relationships with data buyers in industries eager to leverage edge data to inform decision making processes—including advertising, real-time traffic management, environmental monitoring, and business intelligence. With a rich catalog of audio, video, and environmental data generated from AYDO’s devices, 375ai can act as a marketplace, selling AYDO’s IoT data to interested buyers. Through our collaboration, AYDO has the opportunity to monetize data via 375ai’s growing network of interested buyers, closing the data cycle loop from capture, to analysis, and ultimately monetization. 

Look Ahead

The work being done by AYDO and 375ai enables both networks to expand their influence in the edge data intelligence space. By integrating AYDO’s network of IoT devices with 375ai’s purpose-built hardware and software, both networks create a data ecosystem that is broader, more accurate, and increasingly scalable.

For AYDO, the collaboration unlocks a valuable revenue stream by allowing them to monetize their IoT data through 375ai’s platform and network of data buyers. For 375ai the addition of AYDO’s sensors ensures that their data coverage is more comprehensive, leading to richer insights and more diverse use cases. Together, AYDO and 375ai look to set new standards for real-time data collection and processing at the edge.
