CHICAGO, Feb. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Dense Air, a leading provider of shared wireless networks, will join with our partners Radisys and EdgeQ at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona the week of February 26th, 2024, to announce a state-of-the-art integrated neutral host As-a-Service offering. Dense Air and its partners are bridging the gap between physical infrastructure and the cloud, enabling carriers to cost-effectively extend and densify their networks. 

 

 

Together with EdgeQ and Radisys, Dense Air is introducing a first-of-its-kind platform built on a data-driven, cloud-native architecture that offers shared RAN, transmitting public and private cellular networks across a single small-cell based infrastructure for in-building, enterprise, and outdoor deployments. This innovative solution allows cities, hotels, venues, businesses, carriers, and third-party operators to facilitate seamless connectivity across different environments with ease and flexibility. 

“We are changing the paradigm with our approach to solving network connectivity gaps. This partnership has enabled us to offer a scalable shared network platform As a Service, with a lower total cost of ownership — bringing together a secure, seamless integration to operators’ networks. Our end-to-end solution provides a quick-to-deploy, turnkey, resilient multi-tenant platform tailored to specific use cases while providing uninterrupted network coverage at a fraction of the cost,” said Jim Estes, CEO of Dense Air. 

Powering Dense Air’s proprietary indoor and outdoor small cells will be EdgeQ’s highly converged LTE and 5G system on a chip, which provides the ability to simultaneously broadcast both shared and licensed spectrum, a key market differentiator that changes the economics for 5G service delivery. 

“We are excited to support Dense Air and Radisys in this ecosystem partnership. As 5G is a key market for EdgeQ, our converged 4G+5G system on a chip solution natively scales to the needs of operators and private enterprises at breakthrough unit economics,” said Vinay Ravuri, CEO and Founder of EdgeQ. 

Through this ecosystem solution, Dense Air is building on its partnership with Radisys Corporation and using their market-proven centralized units (CU) and distributed units (DU) Open RAN solution, which now leverages Google Cloud Platform (GCP) as a foundation. This solution will provide carriers with a robust, reliable ecosystem – positioned to transform the pace of 5G deployment. 

 “We are delighted to partner with Dense Air and EdgeQ in building a network that delivers a 5G network with edge processing capabilities, leveraging a flexible RAN architecture and open interfaces,” said Arun Bhikshesvaran, CEO of Radisys. “Our proven 3GPP and O-RAN compliant cloud-native CU and DU software delivers scalability using Google Cloud Platform (GCP), making it possible to deliver differentiated 5G services to multiple carriers.”

Through this cloud-native, multi-operator, neutral host solution, Dense Air and its partners are bridging the gap between physical infrastructure and the cloud, enabling users to seamlessly connect and stay connected. 

Please join us for the fireside chat: ‘The Revolutionary Future of 5G Networks’ on Tuesday at 2pm at the Radisys booth to learn more about the groundbreaking approach to solving coverage gaps.

Fathom Applauds Introduction of the FRONTIER Act, the First Federal Blueprint for Independent AI Verification

Published

Reps. Lori Trahan (D-MA-03) and Jay Obernolte (R-CA-23) introduce a bill to build a competitive marketplace of independent verifiers for frontier AI models.

WASHINGTON, July 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fathom welcomes the introduction of the FRONTIER Act, the most complete federal framework yet for independent, third-party verification of frontier AI. The legislation is built to earn public trust as AI technology continues to accelerate. As frontier systems begin to take autonomous action in the world, the gap between what these models can do and our ability to keep them in check is widening. FRONTIER is the starting point to close that gap.

“AI governance keeps running into the same wall. The technology is hard to measure and it moves faster than any law can keep up with,” said Andrew Freedman, Co-Founder and CEO of Fathom. “Trying to write the perfect rules and freezing them in place won’t work. What will work is a competitive market of independent verifiers who are accountable for real-world outcomes and who the government can actually count on. The FRONTIER Act shows we can move fast and still get this right.”

The bill gets the fundamentals correct. It sets one public standard – the adequate mitigation of catastrophic risk – and holds both the AI companies and their independent verifiers accountable to it. FRONTIER does not freeze a single testing method into statute. Instead, it licenses competing verification organizations, allows them to sharpen their methods, and gives the government the power to revoke a license when a verifier’s work does not hold up in the field. That is how you build a system that keeps pace with the science instead of falling behind it.

Fathom thanks Reps. Trahan and Obernolte for their leadership, and for their courage in releasing a discussion draft, inviting scrutiny, and incorporating substantive improvements from across the field. One priority improvement as the bill advances: giving the government a fuller range of tools to act upstream – for pushing companies to close identified gaps in risk mitigation early, rather than only once a catastrophe is imminent. We are committed to working with these sponsors, committees of jurisdiction, and Congressional leadership to continue refining the bill in the weeks and months ahead.

About Fathom
Fathom is an independent nonprofit whose mission is to build a governance architecture that helps society navigate the transition to a world with AI by fostering trust, safety, and innovation. Fathom has developed and championed the independent verification model for AI and works with policymakers across the country to put it into practice. Learn more at http://fathom.org.
