Zettabyte and LITEON Partner on Distributed Edge AI Platform

Zettabyte and LITEON Technology have announced a research and development partnership to create a distributed edge AI inferencing platform called the Ultra Edge Pod, announced in a press release. The platform will be deployed at cell towers, adjacent facilities, and other network-proximate sites to bring AI inference workloads closer to users and reduce latency.

Under the collaboration, Zettabyte will provide the software layer responsible for GPU scheduling, orchestration, observability, and remote operations. LITEON will supply power, cooling, and physical infrastructure for the deployments. The initial rollout will demonstrate how integrated software and hardware can support low-latency, location-aware AI inference in distributed environments.

The Ultra Edge Pod is designed to operate in power- and space-constrained telecom scenarios, including tower company and telecommunications facilities. The companies aim to validate scalable and resilient edge AI deployments by combining Zettabyte’s software management tools with LITEON’s infrastructure expertise.
