Company Performance Metrics
- Christopher Wolff: Founder & CEO
Edge Orbital, Inc. is building the communication backbone for places without cell service. The company's patent-pending GPS-synchronized TDMA protocol delivers over 90 percent channel utilization with zero protocol-layer collisions, compared to approximately 18.4 percent for contention-based mesh networks like LoRa. Three patents have been
filed covering 82 claims across GPS-synchronized TDMA for LPWA mesh networks, crowdsourced spatial intelligence via gaming-based ambient data acquisition, and a continuation-in-part non-provisional with 22 claims covering the core protocol. The Tessera protocol enables deterministic communications without centralized infrastructure, serving defense tactical communications, disaster response, and LEO/cislunar space relay. Working prototypes have demonstrated zero collisions on battery-powered hardware with GPS synchronization accuracy within 3 to 4 microseconds. Tripwire Recon, the company's location-based mobile game, turns every player session into a spatial and RF data collection event, creating a crowdsourced spatial intelligence platform. Edge Orbital has self-funded over 100 thousand dollars to date and is raising 3 million dollars via Y Combinator SAFE at a 12 million dollar post-money cap. Founded by Christopher Wolff, a Published Patent Inventor and 33-year telecom infrastructure veteran who built one of the first metropolitan WiFi networks in the United States (Downtown Tucson, AZ, 1997).
