Perception AI Platform

Perception Group is embarking on a transformative STRATEGIC EXPANSION into AI Services: the development and integration of a fully managed AI infrastructure to complement our core TV CDN Cloud services. This next-phase evolution will empower our CDN cloud with advanced B2B API services and our sister company, Rapido AI Ltd, to launch cutting-edge B2C offerings while unlocking scalable user and revenue growth for both businesses.

STRATEGIC VISION: Building Intelligent Media Infrastructure

Perception has built its reputation on designing and operating some of the most complex content delivery networks in the media space. Now, as AI reshapes the digital media landscape, we are leveraging our existing CDN backbone to launch AI Cloud Infrastructure — a future-proof platform designed for performance, control, and monetization.

This initiative is not speculative. It directly addresses growing client demand for AI-powered video services such as:

Real-time automated subtitling
Personalized content curation
AI video promo and trailer generation
Contextual ad break insertion
AI-enabled user support agents

These capabilities will be immediately relevant to our expanding B2B client base, while also forming the backbone of Rapido AI’s consumer subscription platform.

STRATEGIC RATIONALE: Mega Benefits

Platform Independence: Third-party AI APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Google, xAI, Palantir) carry steep usage costs and compromise control over models and data. Our infrastructure ensures full autonomy and IP ownership, aligned with the sovereignty demanded by our clients.

Cost-Efficiency & Margin Protection: In-house infrastructure reduces long-term AI costs by over 70% vs API models — significantly improving operating margins.

Revenue Acceleration: The platform enables bundled offerings to our partners such as telcos’s “Platinum Subscription Package” — combining premium content and AI chat capabilities.

Scalability and Modular Growth: The proposed infrastructure is modular and enterprise-grade — easy deployable at the edge, offering rapid monetization expansion potential.

Brand and Market Positioning: This move positions Perception Group as a next-gen media tech enabler — not just a CDN provider, but a fully integrated infrastructure company at the intersection of TV CDN & AI media cloud.

AI EDGE COMPUTE Infrastructure Advantage

AI co-location at the edge for maximum efficiency: Our AI cluster is deployed in the same data center as our CDN master node and video transcoding head-end — enabling direct access to live video streams and archived VoD content.

No backhaul, no latency drag: Unlike typical AI platforms that rely on sending video over the public internet for processing, our setup eliminates video backhaul — cutting latency and data egress costs by up to 70%.

Smarter, faster video intelligence: This physical proximity allows real-time subtitling, trailer generation, and ad insertion without compromising on speed, bandwidth, or cost.

Scalable, low-friction architecture: Our AI compute grows modularly with demand, reducing infrastructure sprawl and allowing creators and enterprise clients alike to scale usage without scaling complexity.

Total platform synergy: Integrated orchestration with our CDN fabric means AI enhancements like frame-accurate ad markers, multilingual metadata, and smart recommendations happen where the video already lives — at the edge, near real time!

PERCEPTION BOTS: Game-Changer for Indy Producers

Massive addressable market: With over 66 million professional YouTube creators, just a fraction of indy and hobby producers globally, the overall video production sector is booming — and underserved when it comes to intelligent and affordable video automation tools.

Turnkey productivity boost: Our AI bots offer plug-and-play subtitling, multilingual dubbing, contextual ad break insertion, and even automated trailer generation — reducing post-production time and cost by up to 80%.

Revenue amplification: By enabling automated ad placement and content localization, our bots directly increase monetization potential and reach across geographies and demographics.

No-code simplicity: Built with creators in mind, our tools require no technical expertise — giving indie producers access to enterprise-grade automation at the click of a button.

Part of a smarter stack: Integrated into Rapido AI’s subscription model, these bots provide creators with continuous upgrades, multilingual support, and direct monetization alignment — all within one ecosystem.

Highly competitive and convenient offering: Subscription will be aggressively priced as part of an all-inclusive bundle featuring ad-free content, linear channel playout, unlimited content storage, and a third-party syndication toolset.

TECHNICAL SCOPE: Phase 1 Buildout

The initial AI cluster is deployed within existing Perception Group CDN master node, located in our Cheltenham, UK, data centre facility. Phase-1 rollout includes:

64x NVIDIA HGX B200 GPU cluster – growth beyond Q1-26 will be driven by business growth demand

Frontier AI model training, optimization & tuning will be ongoing perpetual process

Seamless integration with Perception’s CDN cloud fabric and partner’s developer support, orchestration, and AI feature engineering improvements will be ongoing perpetual process

BUSINESS GROWTH Value Creation

Monetize infrastructure beyond ad-funded and TV subscription models by introducing scalable, AI-powered subscription services.

Expand TAM by serving both enterprise clients and end users across multiple verticals.

Reinforce IP ownership by launching an open-source-based AI model and transforming it into a proprietary, privately trained fork — establishing valuable, defensible IP without the overhead of building from scratch.

Enhance valuation through the creation of high-margin, tech-led revenue streams and differentiated IP assets.

Position for government-backed AI funding - part of AI expansion is also establishing of dedicated AI lab in Dubai enhanced with advanced 40 developers team in Ljubljana — fully aligned with the EU and UAE’s national AI strategy and innovation agenda.

FUTUREPROOF AI Layer of Perception TVCDN Media Cloud

This is not just a product. It’s a global media platform play.

Perception Group’s AI expansion allows us to own the future of media delivery — combining our world-class CDN with AI compute to power smart video, scalable monetization, and resilient growth.

PERCEPTION AI positions Perception Group at the centre of the next phase of global media disruption.
