Distributed Edge AI Expansion Positions Datavault AI to Challenge Hyperscalers in $400B Neocloud Surge

In a pair of announcements in early January 2026, Datavault AI announced nationwide deployment of the company's DataValue, DataScore, and Information Data Exchange (IDE) solutions onto Available's SanQtum neocloud platform, along with initial edge AI hubs in New York City and Philadelphia in collaboration with Available and IBM.

Eight months later, Datavault's deployment onto SanQtum is expanding: in addition to NYC and Philadelphia, the company is also live with edge AI on a third hub in Washington, DC, and will be live in three more cities - San Francisco, Chicago, and Raleigh (NC) - totaling six by the end of the year.

Complementing these "super node" hubs, ~200 Available Infrastructure micro edge sites located at cell towers across 30 US cities are operating or under construction, with edge clusters in 70 cities to be added to Available's neocloud in the coming months. This represents phase 1 of Available's US neocloud infrastructure buildout, which the company unveiled as Project Qestrel in March.

Market forecasts show very strong demand for neocloud offerings. Synergy Research Group reports $9B (US) in Q4 2025, up 223% year-over-year, exceeding $25B (US) total in 2025 and a 58% CAGR approaching $400B by 2031. The World Economic Forum projects the neocloud market at $250B by 2030.

Companies that can differentiate within this neocloud market segment - such as with sovereign architecture, ultra-low-latency for real-time AI inference, and superior cybersecurity - are well-positioned to excel. The entire SanQtum platform is purpose-built to such specs: sovereign, resilient, edge-first, zero trust, and Q Day ready. These are all attributes that in turn strengthen Datavault's value proposition for its customers.

The next step in Datavault's deployment onto the Project Qestrel fleet of Available's SanQtum neocloud is manufacturing $QEST coins to monetize the value of the associated compute, including moving into compelling new markets such as sovereign edge AI inference. Available is proud to provide the foundation for Datavault CEO Nate Bradley and his team to embark on a game-changing endeavor with their solutions around digital twins, tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), and more.
