A technology company for sovereign hardware.

The most important assets of nation states, governments and enterprises, our national institutions, our energy grids, our border controls, our oil and gas facilities, all exist in the physical world. Every one of them is now watched, connected and controlled by hardware: cameras, gateways, radios and controllers, and the models that run on them.

While we are passionate about instrumenting all this physical infrastructure, we cannot simply outsource the devices it runs on to one or two extremely centralised hardware vendors, with sealed firmware and supply chains nobody in the room can see. The only way to defend these institutions and this critical infrastructure is to own the hardware stack: the design, the parts, the firmware, the models and the keys.

And that is the mission of Arab American Instruments.
