Shirikihub is ARED’s local-first edge infrastructure platform, powered by ShirikiOS, ShirikiEye, and ShirikiAI. It helps organizations run digital services locally while staying connected to the cloud when connectivity is available.
Africa’s digital transformation cannot depend only on distant cloud systems. Many businesses, institutions, transport operators, and public-service points need digital services that remain useful when connectivity is limited, expensive, or temporarily unavailable.
Shirikihub turns affordable edge hardware into a local digital infrastructure node. It brings together connectivity, local compute, storage, application runtime, video intelligence, AI readiness, and cloud synchronization into one managed platform.
The local-first operating layer that supports resilient runtime, updates, storage, telemetry, and containerized applications.
The camera and video intelligence layer for local visual analytics, safety, operational insights, and reduced cloud dependency.
The intelligence layer for monitoring, analytics, recommendations, and future safety-gated automation at the edge.
Shirikihub is designed as a platform, not a single-purpose device. The public architecture is intentionally high level to explain the value without exposing sensitive implementation details.
Connectivity, customer experiences, local apps, analytics, and automation.
Local Wi-Fi, content, onboard services, camera intelligence, and route-based synchronization.
Local tools and digital services that remain usable under constrained connectivity.
Camera intelligence, access, automation, sensor integration, and local insights.
Distributed service points with local continuity and central visibility.
Reusable infrastructure for ISPs, integrators, and operators building vertical offers.
This public page provides a high-level overview of Shirikihub. A deeper technical architecture annex can be shared with qualified partners under NDA.
