For hardware manufacturers

If it's still online, it's still an asset

Your fleet earned you revenue once. One firmware module makes it recurring without touching the user experience, the BOM, or your warranty obligations

The device outlives the sale

Every unit you ship has two lifetimes. The commercial one ends at checkout. The operational one runs for years

Day 0 - revenue lands

The margin is booked. It’s thin, it was set by a market that competes on specs and price, and it’s final. There’s no lever left in the BOM

Month 18 - the line is flat

Still online most of the day. Still receiving OTA updates and security patches. Still generating support tickets. Revenue from this unit since checkout: nothing

Year 4 - costs compound

Support and firmware engineering scale with fleet size. They protect revenue already booked; they create none. The fleet is an operating cost that used to be a sale

A routing module changes which lifetime you get paid for. It runs at the firmware layer, not the unit-economics layer — no change to component cost, retail price, or competitive positioning. Revenue accrues per opted-in device, for as long as that device stays online

This isn't only about the next production run

The module goes into devices you haven’t built yet. It also goes into devices you shipped years ago, by firmware update. The installed base you currently only spend money on — patches, support, warranty — is addressable now, not from the next hardware cycle onward

Ships dormant

Activates only when the owner says yes

The module is present in firmware and does nothing. No routing, no connection, no traffic until the device owner is shown a consent screen and opts in. A device that is never opted in never participates, for its whole operational life. Opt-out stays available afterwards, in the same place, permanently

The ceiling

  • What is routed
  • Who it reaches
  • That opting out works
  • That it keeps working

The offer

Extended warranty on opted-in devices

Subscription credit — for products where recurring service revenue already outweighs hardware margin, the most direct lever available

Feature access that would otherwise sit behind a tier

The rule that keeps this clean: opting in should add something. Declining should cost nothing the customer would otherwise have had. A consent screen that offers a genuine exchange converts better than one that argues — and it stays defensible, which a pressured screen does not.

How a rollout runs

Firmware ships with the module included and dormant – no change to factory test or the OTA pipeline.

Owners opt in through consent surfaced in your UI, in whatever form you’ve designed. Activation builds across the rollout; it doesn’t switch on at once.

Steady state is the opted-in share routing continuously, with the dashboard reporting throughput, consent rate and revenue per device class — each traceable to inputs you can check.

Case study · Tier-1 CTV manufacturer

We were looking for a margin lever that wouldn’t touch the product. AI Gateway sat outside the BOM, integrated in a sprint, and gave us a forecastable revenue line in the first quarter. Year one cleared every internal threshold.

A firmware module, not a wrapper

A single static library that drops into your build system. No background services, no init at boot, no impact on factory test or OTA. Teams with engineering capacity ready have gone from kickoff to shipping build inside a sprint.

Network monetization carries category baggage. The product is built for partners whose legal, security and brand teams will look hard at it — consent integrity, independent penetration testing, audited enforcement, and KYC on every commercial counterparty.

The demand end is contracted, not open market

Routed traffic terminates with vetted counterparties. Since 2021, demand has been served through an exclusive partnership with Oxylabs – a Warburg Pincus-backed infrastructure company whose supplier standards your traffic is held to
