Engineered for Impact: Overcoming Industrial Edge Bottlenecks
1. Dimensional Efficiency vs. Thermal Constraints
Need to deploy AI inference in extremely space-constrained environments? The IRN556 packs stable, reliable performance into a compact 3.5-inch single-board design. Powered by efficient Gracemont cores, it enables ultra-compact, fanless systems for tightly enclosed applications such as 5G nodes and small self-service terminals—delivering excellent thermal stability without compromising performance.
2. Intelligent Vision & Processing Scalability
Struggling with high-latency neural network operations in automated inspection or smart retail? The IRN556 features integrated Intel® AVX2 and VNNI for low-latency, GPU-free inference. For more demanding workloads, its M.2 slots support high-tier AI accelerators like MemryX and Hailo, providing a flexible backbone that allows you to scale processing power as your AI models evolve.
3. Rugged Infrastructure Resilience
Worried about system failure due to electrical instability or harsh outdoor climates? Engineered for the rugged edge, the IRN556 supports a 9~36V DC wide-range power input and is validated for an extreme operating range of -40°C to 85°C. Whether deployed in remote 5G outdoor cells or high-traffic outdoor kiosks, it ensures 24/7 reliability despite fluctuating voltages and scorching temperatures.
4. Optimized TCO & Long-Term Stability
Rising energy costs and short product lifecycles can significantly impact ROI. The IRN556 delivers optimized performance per watt in a compact 6W–15Wpower range. Supported by a 10-year lifecycle, it lowers total cost of ownership and eliminates the risk of unplanned, expensive redesigns.
