About Latticework

Latticework Inc. operates at the intersection of cloud services and artificial intelligence, structured around a dual-brand strategy to serve both consumer and business markets. The company was founded in 2013 by Dr. Pantas Sutardja, a seasoned technology executive and co-founder of Marvell Technology Group. Dr. Sutardja's extensive background in semiconductor and storage systems, underscored by over 300 patents, provided the technical vision for Latticework's focus on data privacy and edge computing. The company is headquartered in Santa Clara, California, and is privately held with venture capital backing, having raised $19 million through December 2018.

For the consumer segment, Latticework offers the Amber product line, a personal hybrid cloud solution. This product consists of a physical storage device, such as the AmberPRO, combined with software that allows users to store, access, and share their data securely without recurring subscription fees. Amber devices create a private cloud, giving users control over their digital assets while providing the convenience of remote access and AI-powered features like photo organization. The hardware integrates functionalities like a Wi-Fi router and supports third-party applications via Docker, such as Plex or Nextcloud, effectively turning the device into a home server. This business line generates revenue through the one-time sale of hardware devices.

On the business-to-business front, Latticework operates under the brand VAISense, which launched at CES 2024. VAISense delivers edge AI solutions, providing enterprises with the hardware, software, and cloud infrastructure to deploy AI applications directly where data is generated. This approach enables real-time processing of complex visual and sensory data, which is particularly beneficial for applications in sectors like security, public safety, retail, and transportation. For instance, VAISense can enhance existing camera systems with capabilities like people detection, intrusion detection, and license plate recognition. By processing data at the edge, businesses can gain faster insights while maintaining consumer privacy and controlling their own data. The VAISense model includes the provision of hardware, software tools for AI application development, and support services.
