VNX+: Self-contained RF payload for hosting AI/ML applications out of the box (epiqsolutions.com)

Epiq, in partnership with AntaraTek, has unveiled the VNX+ Development Platform, which serves as a complete, self-contained RF payload designed for hosting AI and machine learning applications straight out of the box. Ratified in February 2026 as part of the VITA 90 standard, the VNX+ is a modular open architecture platform that integrates an Nvidia-based single board computer, a new VNX400 software-defined radio (SDR) module, and an array of advanced signal processing capabilities, enabling adaptable applications in critical environments such as defense and telecommunications. This development is particularly significant for the AI/ML community as it pushes the boundaries of how AI can be employed in real-time signal processing across various applications like spectrum monitoring and signal intelligence. The platform offers four independent 6 GHz channels, open FPGA architecture, and compatibility with existing AI tools such as DeepSig’s OmniSIG, thereby enhancing the efficiency of signal identification and data processing. As the demand for rapid adaptability in RF applications continues to grow, the VNX+ addresses existing gaps by streamlining signal acquisition and processing, ultimately paving the way for more robust, AI-driven solutions in dynamic operational theaters.
