BRN Discussion Ongoing

They literally wrote “design agreement signed”

Yes, it's for tapping out the AKD2500.

Good news but it cost BRN money to have it done, obviously, part of the 2.5 million they set aside for it.

Yes I know! That’s why the Koreans are happy lol CASH MF hahaha

That is why we are still in the Stage 2 Early Adopters stage of new Tech but firmly heading towards Stage 3 Early Majority Stage which .
Unfortunately no short cuts.

HI Manny,

Can you please explain how you can balance these 2 seemingly glaring contradictions:

1) we are at STILL at the Early Adopters Stage heading towards Early Majority Stage which unfortunately involves no shortcuts, when
2) we were all told there would be an explosion of sales in 2021/ 2022

If you ask me… there was a massive explosion of sales… but not like we expected… you have to read between the lines….
Look at the share price since this statement…SALES

Hi Bravo,

This may sound familiar. Akida 1 was designed to do a specific range of tasks very well. Back then we had a newly minted SoC, Akida1 (4-bit + ARM Cortex) available for early adopters in silicon. It was significantly more capable than the original 1-bit, which itself was revolutionary, but we had Akida 2 under development, and it promised much greater capabilities with its 8-bit architecture. The company was also experiencing a temporary liquidity embarrassment. It needed to develop Akida 2 as there was an emerging requirement for the 8-bit precision. So the company "right-sized" its sales department and gave the chip sales force the opportunity to develop their personal capabilities.

At the time, many of us felt that management was selling Akida 1 short by switching to IP-only., but financially they had no alternative. The company engineers needed to burn the candle at both ends to develop Akida 2, and unbeknown to the shareholders, Akida 2 included a total ground up design of the architecture to incorporate TENNs which was still corporate confidential information.

So pulling the plug on the Akida 1 SoC stymied the 21/22 sales explosion. IP was a much harder sell with a multi-year time to market.

As it turned out, Akida 1/1500 has proven its worth, but, by the same token, there may well be competitors whose performance, if not equivalent to Akida 1, is "good enuf".

There are real world applications for the first generation of Akida including medical and defence applications.

The microDoppler radar SBIR and its commercial offshoot, see-in-the-dark radar, opens up an entirely new greenfield market. The minimal latency QV CyberNeuro0RT edge box is is initially aimed at enterprise systems, but I'm hoping it will devolve to personal devices in due course.

Then there is the unconfirmed Starlink SDR/electronic antenna steering (possibly the inspiration for Elon's pie-in-the-sky satellite AI cloud.?) If this proves to be real, we can expect the world to sit up and take notice, even though some of the shine may have come off Elon.

However, TENNs is streets ahead of most of the competition. The only competitor I'm aware of who is doing anything similar is Advanced Brain Research.

In any event, I see cybersecurity as our shortest path to market. The hardware and software are available now. It's just a matter of getting some market traction.
