In a notable development in May 2025, AVPro Global Holdings, a US-based company specializing in audio and video signal distribution, acquired RTI Control, a US firm that offers edge controllers as part of its control and automation solutions. This acquisition aims to accelerate innovation and broaden integration capabilities, enhancing the overall residential and commercial control and automation portfolio provided by AVPro Global Holdings.
Emerging Technological Trends Impacting the Edge Controller Market
Industry leaders in the edge controller sector are increasingly focusing on cutting-edge security solutions, such as quantum-safe symmetric key agreement (SKA) communications platforms. These platforms facilitate secure key management and encryption without frequent key updates, thereby reducing operational complexities. Quantum-safe SKA platforms utilize cryptographic techniques that resist future quantum computing threats, ensuring ongoing data security.
For example, in July 2025, Arqit Quantum Inc., a UK-based company specializing in quantum-safe encryption technology, introduced the SKA Edge Controller (SKA-EC). This ruggedized communication platform supports quantum-safe symmetric key agreements designed for forward-deployed defense operations. The SKA-EC enables rapid establishment of secure, scalable command and control nodes in challenging or disconnected environments without relying on traditional encryption methods. It extends the SKA-Platform’s capabilities to the tactical edge, allowing mobile and distributed forces to operate securely using compact hardware like BioDigitalPC cards, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) servers, or virtualized cloud nodes. This solution dynamically generates symmetric encryption keys across trusted endpoints, mitigating risks associated with pre-shared keys and simplifying the public key infrastructure. The system is crypto-agile, zero-trust-ready, and tailored for high-tempo, mission-critical environments.
