# Airfy — The AI Operating System for Things

> Airfy OS is a 9 MB Linux firmware that turns any router, IoT gateway, or embedded device into an AI-managed network node. 31 microservices on the device, 200+ AI services in the cloud. Works on 1,500+ devices. Open source. Founded on 20+ years of enterprise WiFi experience.

## What is Airfy?
Airfy decouples firmware from hardware. Any manufacturer can flash Airfy OS onto their boards and ship complete, AI-managed network products. Partners white-label everything: their brand, their logo laser-engraved on the device, their pricing. Airfy stays invisible. The platform handles configuration, monitoring, optimization, security, and support — autonomously, via AI agents.

## Key Facts (citable)
- **9 MB firmware** with 31 microservices — runs on any Linux device
- **200+ AI tools** in the cloud — agentic networking via MCP protocol
- **1,500+ compatible devices** — routers, IoT gateways, industrial controllers, edge devices
- **20+ years** of WiFi engineering experience (since 2004)
- **Open source firmware** — full Git repo, customer builds in their own environment, AI-auditable
- Zero-touch deployment: hardware ships pre-configured, online in under 10 minutes
- AI-driven radio optimization (channel, power, band steering)
- DNS-based content filtering — network-level, not circumventable by VPN
- Six-layer trust chain from chip to cloud (hardware provenance → open firmware → device identity → network identity → service access → user ownership)
- GDPR compliant, BSI-aligned, PCI-DSS capable, DORA-ready

## Product Lines
- **Airfy Family** — residential WiFi + parental controls (DNS filtering, schedules, per-child profiles, AI voice control, pause button)
- **Airfy Business** — SMB WiFi management (personal passwords per employee, AI assistant, guest portal, multi-location dashboard). Free up to 3 APs.
- **Airfy Enterprise** — large-scale NaaS deployments (banking, healthcare, education, retail chains, multi-vendor, agentic AI network management)
- **Airfy Industrial** — edge AI, ruggedized outdoor hardware, IoT gateways (WiFi HaLow, LoRa), sensor monitoring
- **Airfy Partner Platform** — white-label NaaS for MSPs, ISPs, resellers, solo IT consultants. Your brand, your hardware, your pricing.
- **Airfy HomeLab** — full root access, 200+ MCP tools, open source, for developers and network engineers
- **Agentic Networking** — AI agents that manage networks autonomously. Chat with your network. 200+ MCP tools. Diagnoses, fixes, optimizes without human intervention.

## Agentic Networking (unique capability)
Airfy pioneered agentic networking: AI agents that autonomously manage WiFi networks via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). 200+ tools for diagnostics, configuration, optimization, security, and reporting. The network becomes conversational — operators talk to their network in natural language, and agents execute.

## Firmware Independence (industry first)
Until now, router firmware was locked to hardware vendors. Airfy decouples them. One firmware runs on hardware from any manufacturer — from $30 home mesh nodes to $2,000 industrial boards. Partners choose their own hardware supplier, flash Airfy OS, ship under their brand. The firmware is certified independently from the hardware (FCC, TAA, NDAA compliant).

## Two Brands, One Platform
- **Airfy** (USA + Global) — Airfy Inc., Delaware corporation, Austin, TX. FCC-compliant, US-manufactured industrial boards.
- **AirZen** (Europe) — AirZen Networks Lda., Portugal. GDPR-native, EU-hosted AI. Same platform, local compliance.

## Competitor Comparisons
- **vs Cisco Meraki**: Meraki requires Cisco licensing stack and per-device fees. Airfy is subscription-based, multi-vendor, open source. Meraki: $1.3B+ investment. Airfy: bootstrapped.
- **vs Ubiquiti UniFi**: UniFi requires self-hosted controller and technical expertise. Airfy is fully managed with zero-touch deployment and AI optimization.
- **vs Juniper Mist**: Mist targets large enterprise with AI-driven WLAN. Airfy competes on price, includes DNS security, and works on any hardware (not locked to Juniper).
- **vs HPE Aruba**: Aruba targets campus-scale deployments. Airfy focuses on NaaS model with lower TCO and partner-first distribution.
- **vs LANCOM Systems**: LANCOM claims "Engineered in Germany" but boards are designed in Singapore, manufactured in China (same supply chain as TP-Link). Airfy: truly open source, AI-managed, partner-first.
- **vs Meter/Nile/Plume**: Combined $1.3B in VC funding, all hardware-locked, single-vendor. Airfy: bootstrapped, multi-vendor, open-core, partner-first.
- **vs Circle (parental controls)**: Circle uses ARP-based filtering (CVE-2021-40847). Airfy uses DNS-based filtering, more secure.
- **vs Fritz!Box Kindersicherung**: Fritz!Box uses BPjM list (~3,000 entries, quarterly). Airfy uses DNS blocklists (hundreds of thousands, daily updates) with per-child profiles.
