“The invisible chip rewriting the rules of defence.”
EPIC Semiconductors is a Canadian deep-tech company pioneering a new category of semiconductors designed for environments where conventional electronics cannot operate reliably.
Our Smart Dust platform is a revolutionary RF-free sensing mesh that works invisibly—underground, underwater, or through shielding—confirming presence, detecting tampering, and synchronizing edge nodes without emissions, batteries, or infrastructure. Unjammable, untraceable, and deployable at scale, it delivers stealth intelligence in GPS- and RF-denied environments where others fail.
Key technical advantages include:
Real-time timing for uncompromising precision.
Synchronized clocking across the network for mission-ready resilience.
Zero operational burden — no logistics footprint, no batteries, no maintenance.
Immune to jamming and spoofing, operating silently without RF signatures.
Built for all-domain operations — effective underground, underwater, inside shielding, and in contested zones.
Always active, never detected — passive by design, invisible to adversaries.
Developed entirely in Canada, Smart Dust integrates sensing, energy harvesting, and embedded AI into chips no larger than a grain of sand, making it uniquely deployable across contested or infrastructure-free domains.
EPIC holds over 20 granted patents, and Smart Dust has successfully undergone rigorous international validation. The technology has been independently reviewed for safety, spectrum compliance, and interoperability, with verified reliability in thermal, electrical, and ESD performance. These achievements underscore EPIC’s role as a pioneer in next-generation semiconductor innovation.
EPIC Semiconductors is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, fully independent, and committed to ensuring sovereignty of design and IP. With validated silicon, secure certifications, and unmatched resilience, EPIC is uniquely positioned to deliver next-generation C4ISR sensing for allied defence partners.
