Silicon Valley invests in Unicorn software companies. Wall St invests in fully securitized real estate projects. This leaves cities and operators dependent on tools that were never designed to operate continuously in complex, real world environments. Intelligent Infrastructure needs a better investment model.
Data infrastructure has increasingly consolidated under a small number of large technology companies. Closed systems and proprietary control limit interoperability, restrict access, and slow innovation. As a result, communities and developers are locked into ecosystems that favor scale over local needs and adaptability
Taxpayers fund the deployment through subsidies, tax breaks, and infrastructure investments. Big Tech gets free rides on public resources. Then they ship every dollar of profit back to Silicon Valley shareholders while communities bear all the risks. This imbalance reduces trust, limits reinvestment, and creates friction between innovation and public benefit.
Surge addresses this gap by building infrastructure designed specifically for real time, physical world intelligence. Instead of relying on proprietary platforms or centralized data collection, Surge deploys open, infrastructure first networks through locally owned operating companies. These networks generate continuous, anonymous data from deployed assets, support multiple use cases simultaneously, and create recurring value that remains rooted in the communities where infrastructure is installed.
We create region-specific operating companies that develop, build, and own local infrastructure. 100% of revenue and profit flows through each local LLC.
Investors, from everyday citizens to institutional funds, own the actual infrastructure in their communities.
Our infrastructure delivers real-time data to autonomous systems and AI platforms when and where they need it most.
Surge is a Public Benefit Corporation. Owners and investors in each LLC are beneficiaries of revenue and growth; as Surge grows, so do their returns.
Advanced Sensing
Surge deploys advanced sensing infrastructure that captures real world conditions in real time without collecting personal data. These systems combine high resolution spatial awareness, all weather reliability, and environmental monitoring to create accurate representations of activity in complex urban environments. This foundation enables AI systems to understand movement, interactions, and conditions as they occur.
Edge Processing and AI Compute
Data generated by Surge infrastructure is processed close to its source to enable rapid response and operational reliability. Local processing supports low latency inference and reduces dependence on centralized cloud systems. This approach allows AI models to operate on fresh, contextual data and supports a wide range of real time applications across mobility, safety, and logistics.
Surge is a member of the NVIDIA Inception program, which supports emerging companies building advanced AI and data infrastructure. Participation in the program provides access to technical resources and ecosystem alignment with industry standard AI platforms, helping ensure Surge infrastructure remains compatible with modern edge AI and compute workflows as they evolve.
Last Mile Wireless Networks
Surge builds industrial grade wireless networks designed for machine to machine communication. These networks prioritize reliability and performance under real world conditions and provide consistent connectivity for deployed infrastructure. By treating connectivity as a core part of the system, Surge ensures data moves seamlessly from the physical environment to AI systems in real time.
Surge is a Public Benefit Corporation, which means we're legally required to care about your community, not just our profits. While Big Tech treats infrastructure as a way to harvest data, we treat it as a public trust.
Our sensors keep data anonymous and process everything locally. The revenue generated stays in your region. And every year, we publish a report card showing how we've made streets safer, air cleaner, and technology more accessible.
This legal structure isn't just paperwork, it's our promise that the infrastructure powering tomorrow's autonomous vehicles and smart cities will serve communities, not surveil them
