Vapor IO

Vapor IO is developing the largest nationwide edge-to-edge networking, colocation and interconnection platform capable of supporting the most demanding low-latency workloads at the edge of the wireless and wireline access networks. The company’s Kinetic Grid platform combines multi-tenant colocation with software-defined interconnection and high-speed networking. The company’s technologies deliver the most flexible, highly-distributed edge infrastructure, which is used by telcos, cloud providers and large enterprises to reduce the cost and complexity of delivering next-generation edge applications, including 5G, factory robotics, smart retail and autonomous vehicles. Vapor IO has deployed its Kinetic Edge services in Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas and Pittsburgh, and is actively deploying in 36 additional markets. Follow @VaporIO on Twitter.

The company’s Kinetic Grid™ platform is the first nationwide edge-to-edge platform that brings the core of the internet to within microseconds of the end-user or device—including the radio tower, factory floor, and retail storefront.

Today’s internet operates from the core out, but Vapor IO deploys intelligent infrastructure from the edge in because the edge is where the action happens. It’s where farmers grow food, factories build widgets, retail stores sell products, and hospitals care for the sick. Everything we care about is at the edge. It’s where we make our homes, drive our cars, attend our schools, and work in our offices. The edge is where data is created; the edge is where analyzing and acting on data creates value.

With build outs underway in 36 U.S. metro areas, Vapor IO has a multiyear lead in providing production-grade infrastructure for edge-to-edge computing. The company’s deployments enable new use-cases at new economics, reducing the time, cost, and complexity of its customers’ multi-market edge deployments.

The company was created in 2015 with a vision to rearchitect the internet at the edge. We have assembled a world-class team that has decades of infrastructure, networking, and data center experience. We are currently leading industry efforts to deliver cloud computing to the edge of the network using our unique hardware designs and tower-connected real estate, as well as the company’s software portfolio for autonomous data center operations and application telemetry.
