The company behind the world’s first patented distributed data centers powered by distributed energy, Lektra has announced a strategic partnership with EG4 Electronics. The partnership combines EG4’s advanced battery hardware with Lektra’s distributed AI infrastructure, creating a first-of-its-kind product: a superior battery system with integrated micro data center capabilities.
Under the agreement, EG4 will participate in Lektra’s Series A round and license Lektra’s patented intellectual property.
EG4 will have exclusive use of Lektra’s IP for the distribution of its patented technology during the development phase. This collaboration will allow EG4 to offer its customers a unified solution, batteries that not only store energy, but also enable distributed cloud computing and AI services at the edge.
“We are excited to work with EG4’s hardware team and management to deliver a superior battery with distributed AI capabilities,” said Karl Andersen, CEO of Lektra. “We believe in a distributed energy and AI marketplace that allows ratepayers to get more money from their own energy while building resilience into the grid.”
“Lektra is pushing the boundaries of edge compute, allowing residential solar customers to benefit directly from the explosive growth of AI Data Center,” said James Showalter, CEO of EG4. “We’re thrilled to be selected by Lektra as their partner for storage solutions.”
