Zero-Carbon AI: Next-Gen Smart City Security Powered by Photonic Computing
FAIRFAX, VA / ACCESS Newswire / May 12, 2025 / Visium Technologies, Inc. ("Visium" or the "Company") (OTC PINK:VISM), a global leader in cybersecurity, advanced analytics, and AI-driven situational awareness, and True Photonic, Inc., developer of the world's first commercial-scale photonic compute infrastructure, today announced a strategic partnership to co-develop and deploy TruContext Photon™. This breakthrough AI-native situational intelligence platform is built exclusively for pure photonic environments, marking a significant leap forward in computing technology. Unlike traditional systems that rely on electrical signals, TruContext Photon™ is engineered to operate entirely on light, delivering unprecedented speed and energy efficiency.
The collaboration leverages True Photonic's patented Poovey Switch™ and its advanced optical logic stack, enabling optical logic operations at femtosecond speeds-up to 5,700 times faster than cloud-based high performance computing systems-while reducing energy consumption by over
TruContext Photon™ is engineered to empower:
Operational Efficiency & Real-Time Public Safety: Enabling rapid, situational intelligence to support emergency responses and urban resilience.
Predictive Analytics & Infrastructure Resilience: Offering advanced insights for mobility, energy management, and risk analysis.
Sustainable Digital Command Centers: Powering zero-carbon urban security hubs with unprecedented speed.
Secure Multi-Agency Coordination: Facilitating reliable, mission-critical communication across public and private sectors.
In addition, the platform will incorporate a tokenized compute access model-a novel approach designed to align resource utilization with market demand, potentially disrupting traditional compute-service pricing structures.
"This isn't about simply faster infrastructure; it's about smarter, sovereign systems," said Derek W. Bailey, CEO of True Photonic. "With Visium, we're proving that intelligence can run on light-and that American leadership in photonic computing is moving from aspiration to reality."
Mark Lucky, CEO of Visium Technologies, added, "TruContext Photon™ positions us at the forefront of the post-silicon revolution. By integrating our cutting-edge contextual analytics with True Photonic's transformative optical compute infrastructure, we are enhancing AI performance while laying the groundwork for sustainable, future-proof urban security and infrastructure solutions. Our collaboration redefines what's possible in digital command and control systems for smart cities, defense applications, and beyond."
Strategic Roadmap and Market Impact
Looking ahead, the companies have outlined a strategic roadmap with pilot deployments scheduled for late 2026, targeting early implementations in smart cities, secure national systems, and digital infrastructure hubs. Future phases will explore scalability across critical infrastructure, defense, and global urban management sectors. Further details will be shared on the companies' digital platforms.
