PEAK3, ASUS IoT partner to advance broadcast technology for edge computing

Partnership enables broadcast-powered data delivery for edge devices, reducing connectivity bottlenecks.

PEAK3 Spectrum and ASUS IoT announced a strategic partnership that will integrate PEAK3’s Industrial ATSC 3.0 M.2 Receiver technology into ASUS IoT’s hardware platforms, creating new possibilities for smart cities and industrial automation.

The collaboration combines PEAK3’s broadcast expertise with ASUS IoT’s industrial-grade hardware to address growing demand for real-time data processing at the network edge, particularly in applications where traditional internet connectivity is unreliable or insufficient.

PEAK3’s new Industrial ATSC 3.0 M.2 Receiver allows devices to receive broadcast signals without relying on traditional network infrastructure. The company currently uses a dedicated 1MB data channel through National Broadcast Group, covering about 40% of the U.S., with plans for nationwide expansion within a year.


Patrick Sung of ASUS IoT said the integration will support applications ranging from smart traffic systems to industrial monitoring.

ASUS IoT contributes its expertise in industrial-grade hardware, including single-board computers (SBCs), mini PCs, and custom IoT solutions. By integrating PEAK3’s M.2 Receiver, ASUS IoT aims to enhance edge devices with ATSC 3.0 broadcast technology for real-time data processing and communication.

The combination of PEAK3’s M.2 Receiver and ASUS IoT’s hardware platforms opens up new possibilities for smart city applications, transportation, industrial automation, and IoT deployments. For example, in smart cities, this technology can be used to enable real-time traffic monitoring and management. In industrial settings, it can facilitate the seamless integration of IoT devices for predictive maintenance and process optimization.

The partnership addresses several challenges in edge computing, particularly in environments where traditional internet connectivity is unreliable, expensive, or unavailable. The ATSC 3.0 broadcast standard provides a one-to-many distribution model that can efficiently deliver data to thousands of devices simultaneously.
