Atombeam Technologies' CEO Charles Yeomans

What does winning the Tech Ascension Award for Big Data mean to Atombeam Technologies, and how does it validate your approach to data optimization?


Winning the 2025 Tech Ascension Award for Best Data Management Solution – AI-Powered Transmission is a tremendous honor for Atombeam Technologies. This recognition of our Neurpac product validates our core belief: that transforming data itself, rather than only expanding infrastructure, is the future to solving the looming data crisis. This award validates Atombeam’s innovative solutions for efficiency, security, and scalability in modern-day big data. It's a testament to the dedication of our team and the trust of our investors, partners, and customers who are all instrumental in Atombeam's journey to revolutionize how data is used, moved, stored, and secured.


Atobeam

Atombeam is known for its innovative data-as-codewords technology. Can you elaborate on how your solution tackles the prevalent challenges of data sprawl and inefficient data transmission in today's data-intensive world – and more specifically the growth of the IoT and increased use of AI?


At Atombeam, our innovative Data-as-Codewords technology is designed to fundamentally reimagine data transmission, storage and access. Unlike traditional compression, Neurpac uses AI and machine learning to identify recurring patterns in raw data and convert them into compact "codewords". This process, which generates machine-learned codebooks, enables lossless data reduction of an average of 75 percent, effectively quadrupling bandwidth with near-zero latency. For the exponential growth of IoT and AI, where data volumes are straining digital infrastructure, Atombeam's Neurpac operates effortlessly on heavy AI workloads and small, frequent data packets, down to four bytes, without manual configuration. It's a software-only solution, compatible with existing infrastructure, ensuring Atombeam provides real-time, high-efficiency, and secure data transmission from edge devices.


Looking ahead, what emerging trends do you see in the big data landscape, and how is Atombeam Technologies positioned to address these evolving needs with your current or upcoming innovations?


Looking ahead, I see the big data landscape facing a critical need for more efficient and intelligent AI systems. Atombeam Technologies is uniquely positioned to address this with our Persistent Cognitive Machine (PCM). Unlike traditional language models, the PCM is an always-on cognitive system that proactively initiates interaction and maintains long-term memory through "thought caches". This includes an executive function that governs reasoning, memory usage, and collaboration. PCM enables highly efficient, domain-specific AI performance, dramatically reducing compute requirements by up to 85 percent through its codeword approach and cache-based architecture. Atombeam is providing a path forward for advancing generative AI applications through purely software-based solutions that are more efficient and adaptable.


Data centers are the backbone of big data. How does Atombeam's technology specifically impact data center efficiency, costs, or performance, particularly as data volumes continue to explode?


Data centers are certainly the backbone, and Atombeam's technology enhances their efficiency, reduces costs, and boosts performance, particularly as data volumes continue to explode. By shrinking data transfer sizes by an average of 75 percent, Neurpac provides significant cost savings, lowering transmission and storage expenses, and extending the lifespan of existing infrastructure while simultaneously making it more secure.. This allows organizations to manage immense data growth more economically without needing costly hardware upgrades. Moreover, Atombeam's solution contributes to sustainability by efficiently handling small IoT sensor payloads, leading to lower power consumption in data centers and decreasing capital costs associated with managing increasing IoT data. Neurpac ensures real-time data transmission with near-zero latency, vital for critical applications and for improving overall operational efficiencies within data centers.


Based on your experience, which industries are currently experiencing the most significant benefits from Atombeam's technology, and what makes them particularly well-suited for your solution?


Industries currently experiencing significant benefits from Atombeam's technology are data-heavy sectors where speed, bandwidth, and real-time decision-making are essential. These include finance, telecommunications, industrial IoT, energy, defense, healthcare, smart infrastructure, and AI. Our solution is particularly well-suited for these industries because it addresses their core challenges: overwhelming data volumes, limited bandwidth, and the need to decrease latency. But importantly, Atombeam's technologies are applicable across any industries that must use, move, store and secure data. For instance, in manufacturing, Neurpac supports responsive diagnostics; in energy, it improves SCADA sensor data transfer; and in defense and aerospace, it's proven effective in constrained, high-security environments like SATCOM and Link 16.


The ability to reduce data by 75% and quadruple – or more – effective bandwidth with near-zero latency makes our technology invaluable in these critical applications.
