TERASPATIAL INC — Department of Energy SBIR Phase I: C56-08b
TERASPATIAL INC — SBIR Phase I award from Department of Energy.
Phase I SBIR feasibility signal
- Phase I awards fund proof-of-concept work. For capture teams, they mark early interest from Department of Energy in a technical approach.
- Watch for Phase II follow-ons from the same firm/topic family — that conversion path is where budgets and transition pressure rise.
- Obligated amount $199,775. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Topic code C56-08b links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
TeraSpatial aims to develop a solution, directly addressing the goals of the Office of Electricity (OE), to improve the robustness, reliability, and security of the power grid by delivering a flexible, AI-infused, distributed, secure wireless communications system, based on advances in 5G and Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML), for command and control of the power grid. This constitutes an essential element to enable a Digital Twin Power Grid. The hierarchical wireless communications network will support data capacities 10-100 times more than current solutions, without needing fiber, and lead to direct improvements in Transmission and Distribution (T&D) efficiency and reliability by allowing significantly more real-time sensor data (including video) to be harvested from the grid endpoints, thereby facilitating use of advanced AI techniques.
