Quicksilver — Starzl Enterprises' IQ data fabric — moves far more signal data across the network than raw transmission allows, routes the right data to the right operator at the right time, and encrypts it end-to-end from the edge. One codec runtime delivers all of it natively — no separate pipelines, no bolted-on stages.
Quicksilver covers the edge spectrum path end to end — reducing what must move, identifying what matters near collection, keeping links usable under interference, encrypting payloads from the edge, and coordinating routing across distributed assets.
Identify channels, anomalies, and signal classes close to collection.
Reduce IQ and phase-space data before storage or transport becomes the bottleneck.
Lower end-to-end bandwidth requirements and reduce time on air.
Maintain useful throughput under interference and poor link conditions.
Protect high-rate edge streams without unacceptable latency or power draw.
Coordinate routes, nodes, and policies across distributed edge assets.
Compression for IQ and phase-space data — targets on briefing.
Signature extraction and signal classification near collection.
End-to-end bandwidth reduction across constrained links — targets on briefing.
Low-latency protection for high-rate edge streams — targets on briefing.
Routing and network control across distributed edge.
Quicksilver is ready to demonstrate and participate in exercises that partners can run against real link, storage, edge-compute, and network-control pressure.
Tunable IQ compression — from perceptually lossless to mission-tuned screening — for missions where signal volume exceeds available storage, transport, or compute.
Signature extraction, signal classification, anomaly detection, and channel awareness — all at the point of collection.
Transport optimization for constrained links — lower duty cycle, higher effective throughput, and operation through degraded signal conditions.
End-to-end encryption from the edge — full-payload, native to the codec, operator-controlled keys. No separate cryptographic stage.
Network control, route coordination, and policy management for distributed edge assets — under changing link conditions.
Low-SWaP operation, storage reduction, bandwidth savings — interoperable with the platforms already in inventory.
Transport, edge security, and network orchestration work together seamlessly to form a unified system for distributed radio architectures, remote backhaul, and forward-deployed systems.
Briefings start from the operating constraint — what must move, what must remain encrypted, and what performance is required under interference.
Quicksilver capabilities have been validated in operational exercises with the US Army, the US Navy, and prime contractors.
