FAQs
for SmartEDGE AI Router – coming soon!
Yes. The SmartEDGE G600 is available in multiple variants to suit different deployment needs. One version uses a Qualcomm IQ615 SoC with around 3 TOPS of AI performance and typically pairs with 4G LTE for cost-efficient edge processing. Another higher-performance version uses a Qualcomm QCS6490 SoC with up to 15 TOPS and adds 5G connectivity for more demanding AI workloads and higher bandwidth requirements. Both variants share the same general form factor and I/O profile.
The gateway is designed for a wide range of edge AI applications, including computer vision, object detection, people counting, video analytics, anomaly detection on sensor data, robotics and automation logic, and audio-based AI analytics. It supports deployment of machine learning models that fit within its available performance and memory envelope, making it suitable for surveillance, quality inspection, predictive maintenance, and intelligent automation use cases.
The SmartEDGE G600 uses an embedded Linux-based platform with support for containerized applications. You can package software or AI models into containers and deploy them to the device, or use supported orchestration and AI packaging tools for streamlined rollout. This enables workflows where models trained in the lab or cloud are transferred to the gateway and executed locally using the onboard AI acceleration capabilities.
Yes. The SmartEDGE G600 supports multi-stream video processing and can handle up to 5 camera feeds concurrently, depending on stream resolution and workload complexity. Its hardware video engine supports H.265/H.264 encoding, while the onboard AI resources can run inference tasks such as object detection or motion analysis across multiple streams in parallel.
The gateway supports remote management for distributed deployments. Administrators can monitor device health, configure settings, deploy OTA updates, and roll out new software or AI model versions remotely. It also supports secure remote access and container orchestration workflows, allowing centralized control of applications and lifecycle management without requiring physical access to each unit.
