Peraso And Virewirx Demonstrate 50Gbps Network Cluster Targeting Drone Swarms And Autonomous Systems

Combined wireless technologies enable resilient, high-capacity, GPS-independent networking for autonomous platforms operating in contested and congested environments

Peraso Inc.("Peraso") and Virewirx, Inc. ("Virewirx") today announced the successful demonstration of a simulated drone wireless communication environment requiring a high-capacity network cluster with a peak aggregate data capacity of more than 50Gbps. Each company provided fundamental technology essential to the demonstration, including Peraso's 60 GHz wireless semiconductor solutions and Virewirx's VX60 High Performance Wireless Network, an advanced millimeter- wave networking technology.

During the customer demonstration, the team simultaneously transmitted several independent multi-gigabit data streams within the confined space of a large room. The demonstration highlighted one of the primary advantages of 60 GHz wireless over conventional sub-60 GHz technologies, namely its ability to operate effectively in highly congested wireless environments.

"Our collaboration with Virewirx is a terrific example in which two companies bring complementary technology together to address a complex problem," stated Ron Glibbery, CEO of Peraso. "As drone technology continues to prove itself as a force multiplier in modern warfare, we expect our technologies to further enable next-generation battlefield tactics."

Additional benefits of 60 GHz wireless technology include a low probability of intercept and detection (LPI/LPD) and a low probability of jamming, making it well suited for autonomous and mission-critical systems operating in contested environments. These characteristics are particularly valuable in drone warfare, where adversaries employ sophisticated electronic countermeasures to disrupt communications. Combined with Virewirx's network synchronization technology, Peraso's 60 GHz solution can maintain network coordination without GPS, enabling reliable operation in GPS-denied environments.

This capability is especially important for emerging drone swarm applications, where large groups of autonomous drones must communicate and coordinate in real time. The Virewirx VX60 network controller can manage large numbers of autonomous devices, helping prevent communication conflicts while maintaining network resilience in the event of individual unit failures.

"The VX60 network concept grew out of the observation that traditional wireless networks are not well suited to maintain seamless, high-capacity data flow in highly dynamic environments," said Jason Fiber, CEO of Virewirx. "The emerging drone swarms and other large-scale AI systems we see are exceeding the capabilities of network solutions designed for humans. VX60 represents the next era of wireless networking, with core intelligence designed to address the requirements of the AI generation."

Beyond defense applications, the VX60 network architecture is designed to support dense clusters of autonomous devices in commercial and industrial environments. For example, large fleets of robots operating within automated factories require reliable, high-capacity wireless connectivity without interference. Unlike traditional wireless systems that often require physical separation or shielding, the VX60 network enables hundreds of independent multi-gigabit links to operate simultaneously in highly congested settings.

The high throughput of 60 GHz wireless networks also supports the transfer of data-intensive AI models between edge devices and centralized computing resources, helping autonomous robots and vehicles access the processing power and data needed to perform increasingly complex tasks.
