Our products are hybrid 3D and Video processors (SoCs) that are designed to be more efficient, use less power and be easier and less cost to integrate into products such as smartphones, netbooks, chromebooks, tablets, Industrial IoT, routers, IPTV and many more.
-We achieve this by extending OpenPOWER with an innovative Vector ISA that merges 3D, Video and CPU into one single hybrid processor. Complexity is reduced, time to market is reduced, power consumption is reduced.
+At the hardware level we achieve this by extending OpenPOWER with an innovative Vector ISA that merges 3D, Video and CPU into one single hybrid processor. At the software level we engage closely with community resources and partners to ensure upstream collaboration. Complexity is reduced, time to market is reduced, power consumption is reduced.
A typical SoC licenses separate closed-source CPU and closed-source GPU, introducing huge complexity in the drivers and limiting innovation opportunities for the customer. We provide the full source code even for the processor HDL, and full firmware source. This allows customers to audit it in full (a critical requirement for secure environments).
The long-term products are intended to reach mass-volume adoption of 100 to 500 million units, using the latest geometries to gain high performance as well as power savings, primarily in the smartphone netbooks chromebooks tablets IoT and IPTV markets. These to be planned and developed in overlap with the 28nm product, for delivery Q2 2023.
-Additionally we seek to establish ourselves as a "Solutions Provider", developing custom-targetted high performance, high efficiency processors as part of full product design and delivery.

This through leveraging abd engaging professional community and partner resources with the highest level of exertise in the customer's market.
# Your audience and the market.
```Who will your business supply and how will it reach them? How big is the market and who are your key competitors?```
+Our initial target market for the router product is small "Libre" sales channels such as Thinkpenguin. Launch will be through Crowdsupply, which places the router directly onto Nouser's website and fulfilment channel.
# Products and pricing.
```What will you be selling and how will your prices be set? How does this compare with your competitors?```
-For the first phase we will manufacture and sell a completed 5 port Gigabit Ethernet router product using our SoC that is similar to Linksys products. Full source code will be provided, immediately. Retail pricing for a 2x USB2 5x GbeE product is around the USD $45 mark.
