As edge devices continue to generate massive amounts of data, secure and efficient connectivity from the edge to cloud services<\/strong> has become a critical design challenge. Yet many edge platforms still rely on software-based networking stacks<\/strong>, resulting in high CPU load, unpredictable performance, and long integration cycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if your FPGA could connect directly to HTTP\/3 cloud services\u2014securely and efficiently\u2014over standard 1G Ethernet, without a heavy software stack?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is exactly what QUIC1GC-IP<\/strong> enables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf10 Edge-to-Cloud Networking Is Changing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Modern edge systems\u2014industrial gateways, embedded appliances, IoT aggregators, and FPGA-based accelerators\u2014must communicate with cloud infrastructures that increasingly use QUIC and HTTP\/3<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, implementing QUIC purely in software often leads to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • CPU bottlenecks from TLS encryption<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Unpredictable performance under load<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Complex integration and maintenance<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Limited scalability for high-volume edge deployments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    QUIC1GC-IP<\/strong> from Design Gateway addresses these challenges by moving QUIC v1, TLS 1.3, and HTTP\/3 connectivity entirely into FPGA hardware logic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    \ud83d\udd10 What Is QUIC1GC-IP?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    QUIC1GC-IP<\/strong> is a pure hardware-logic QUIC client IP core for FPGA<\/strong>, designed specifically for edge-to-cloud communication over 1 Gigabit Ethernet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    By implementing QUIC and TLS 1.3 in hardware, QUIC1GC-IP transforms FPGA platforms into high-performance HTTP\/3 edge clients<\/strong>, capable of streaming data securely and efficiently to cloud endpoints\u2014without relying on a full software networking stack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    \u2699\ufe0f Why QUIC1GC-IP for FPGA Edge Systems?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    \u2705 Pure Hardware QUIC Client (QUIC v1)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Offloads transport-layer processing from software and CPU, enabling higher throughput and more predictable behavior on embedded edge platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83d\udd10 TLS 1.3 in Hardware<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Provides strong, modern security while significantly reducing CPU load\u2014critical for edge devices exposed to external networks and cloud services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83c\udf0d Native HTTP\/3 Connectivity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Directly compatible with modern cloud infrastructures using HTTP\/3 over QUIC, simplifying edge-to-cloud integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83d\udd0c Optimized for 1G Ethernet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Designed for mainstream edge deployments where 1GbE remains the dominant interface<\/strong>, balancing performance, cost, and scalability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u26a1 Lower CPU Usage, Higher Determinism<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Delivers more stable latency and performance compared to software stacks\u2014ideal for industrial, real-time, and mission-critical edge workloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83d\udd04 Efficient Multiplexed QUIC Streams<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Supports multiple logical data flows over a single connection, reducing head-of-line blocking compared to TCP-based designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83d\ude80 Faster Edge-to-Cloud Deployment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Shortens development and integration time by providing a ready-to-use hardware IP core<\/strong> for secure cloud connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
