Vihaan is Aheesa's flagship RISC-V Networking SoC, designed and developed in India under the Make in India and Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiatives. Built for enterprise, telecom, AI edge, and automotive applications, it delivers secure, scalable, and high-performance networking.
Vihaan-I is our flagship networking SoC on RISC-V — built for high-throughput packet processing, deep inspection, and edge intelligence.
Optimized core for networking workloads with hardware acceleration
Full L2–L7 protocol support with programmable pipeline
Hardware root of trust, encryption engines, and secure boot
India's first domestically designed RISC-V broadband networking SoC, enabling secure, high-performance, and sovereign fiber access infrastructure for next-generation GPON/EPON deployments.
Built by Aheesa Digital Innovations under the MeitY Design-Linked Incentive (DLI) scheme, VIHAAN represents India's first domestically designed broadband networking SoC, reducing dependence on imported telecom silicon while strengthening national technology capabilities.
Powered by the 64-bit C-DAC VEGA RISC-V processor, VIHAAN delivers a royalty-free, customizable architecture that enables long-term innovation, design flexibility, and software independence.
Designed specifically for FTTH Customer Premises Equipment (CPE), VIHAAN integrates compute, broadband access engines, and system control on a single chip while supporting GPON, EPON, Gigabit Ethernet, DDR4 memory, SPI NOR Flash, and eMMC storage.
VIHAAN is supported by the Aheesa Seshnag Reference Platform and Aheesa Router OS (AROS), an OpenWRT-based software stack with U-Boot, boot loaders, drivers, and development tools, enabling OEMs and ODMs to reduce development time and accelerate commercialization.
