Analog Guard® – Markets & Opportunity
Effective January 1, 2026, Signal Advance transferred its Analog Guard® encryption technology and related patents into Analog Guard, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary. Analog Guard addresses a fast-growing need across industries for security that does not depend solely on conventional software-based cryptography – a hardware-rooted, physical-layer approach designed to resist the remote-hacking techniques that increasingly defeat digital-only defenses.
Target Markets & Licensing Paths
Signal Advance is pursuing IP licensing of the Analog Guard platform with semiconductor, cybersecurity, data-storage, and embedded-system partners. In parallel, the Company is evaluating potential strategic transactions – including acquisition or partnership discussions – with defense primes, semiconductor companies, and cybersecurity platform providers who could bring Analog Guard to volume production and market distribution.
IP Valuation
An August 2026 internal management-planning valuation estimated the fair market value of the Analog Guard IP portfolio at approximately $32 million, within a range of $25–40 million, weighted toward the issued and allowed core patent family and discounted for the absence of production hardware and product revenue. Signal Advance has invested nearly $4.0 million to date in the technology and IP now held by Analog Guard, Inc.
This is a management-planning estimate only – not a certified appraisal, and not investment advice or a solicitation to buy or sell any security. It reflects internal planning assumptions as of August 2026 and is subject to change.

Analog Guard, Inc. (“AGI”) is a Texas corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Signal Advance, Inc. 100% of AGI’s equity, and therefore 100% of its upside, is held by Signal Advance on behalf of its shareholders.
