Vicinity Unveils “TRAVE” — AI-Native SDR Platform at 5G-ACIA Frankfurt

_Programmable AI-native 5G SDR platform combines edge AI, software-defined wireless IP, mesh networking, and future TN/NTN evolution for next-generation industrial communications_
Frankfurt, Germany — May 28, 2026 — Vicinity Technologies Limited today officially unveiled TRAVE, its next-generation AI-native 5G/6G Software Defined Radio (SDR) platform, during the 5G-ACIA 5G User Conference in Frankfurt.
Designed for industrial automation, robotics, autonomous systems, private wireless infrastructure, and mission-critical communications, TRAVE represents Vicinity’s latest advancement in programmable wireless technologies and proprietary SDR intellectual property.
Powered by the latest NXP Semiconductors i.MX 95 AI application processor together with the Layerscape LA9310 and LA12xx family wireless processing platforms, combined with Vicinity’s developed SDR PHY/MAC software stack, TRAVE delivers:
AI-native wireless architecture
Programmable 5G and future 6G SDR technologies
Software-defined PHY and MAC processing
Native mesh and sidelink networking
Deterministic ultra-low latency communications
Flexible RF integration architecture
Future TN/NTN converged wireless evolution
Software-upgradable industrial wireless infrastructure
Unlike traditional fixed-function wireless devices, TRAVE is built around a fully programmable and software-evolving architecture, enabling customers and ecosystem partners to rapidly customize wireless functionality, deploy specialized industrial applications, and continuously upgrade capabilities through software innovation.
The platform is designed to support a broad range of next-generation industrial and enterprise applications, including:
Smart factories and Industry 4.0
Industrial robotics and automation
Autonomous drones and unmanned systems
Mission-critical private wireless networks
AI-assisted industrial communications
Distributed edge intelligence systems
Industrial IoT infrastructure
Future AI-native and 6G wireless applications
According to Vicinity, industrial wireless infrastructure is entering a new era where communications platforms must become intelligent, adaptive, programmable, and continuously evolving.
“Industrial wireless systems are rapidly evolving beyond traditional connectivity into intelligent programmable platforms,” said Eric Tsang, CEO of Vicinity Technologies Limited.
“TRAVE demonstrates Vicinity’s long-term investment in proprietary SDR and wireless IP technologies designed to support industrial 5G today while creating the foundation for future AI-native 6G systems.”
Vicinity also announced that it is actively positioning itself as a programmable wireless IP and SDR software provider, enabling customers and ecosystem partners to accelerate development of their own customized 5G, AI-native, industrial, and future 6G wireless platforms based on Vicinity’s proprietary SDR technologies.
The unveiling at the 5G-ACIA User Conference highlights growing industry momentum toward programmable and software-defined industrial wireless systems capable of supporting next-generation automation, edge AI, autonomous operations, and mission-critical communications.
