Lantronix Open-Q 610 μSOM to Bring Advanced AI and Machine Learning Capabilities to Smart Cameras

Aimed at Connected Visual Intelligence Applications With High-Resolution Camera Capabilities, On-Device AI Processing and Native Ethernet Interface


IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lantronix, Inc. (NASDAQ: LTRX), a global provider of intelligent edge and secure data management solutions for the Industrial Internet of Things (IoT), today announced its new Lantronix Open-Q™ 610 μSOM. Scheduled for delivery later this year, the advanced Lantronix Open-Q 610 μSOM will be aimed at connected visual intelligence applications with high-resolution camera capabilities, on-device artificial intelligence (AI) processing and native Ethernet interface.

“Lantronix micro SOMs and solutions enable IoT device makers to jumpstart new product development and accelerate time-to-market by shortening the design cycle, reducing development risk and simplifying the manufacturing process,” said Paul Pickle, CEO of Lantronix.

The new Lantronix ultra-compact (50mm x 25mm), production-ready Open-Q 610 μSOM is based on the powerful Qualcomm® QCS610 System-on-Chip (SOC) from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. The Qualcomm QCS610 is the latest in the Qualcomm® Vision Intelligence Platform lineup and targets smart cameras with its edge computing. Delivering machine learning, image signal processing and sensor processing capabilities, it is designed to bring smart camera technology, including powerful artificial intelligence and machine learning features formerly only available to high-end devices, into mid-tier camera segments, including smart cities, commercial and enterprise, homes and vehicles. 

Bringing Advanced AI and Machine Learning to Smart Camera Application

Designed to bring advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities to smart cameras in multiple vertical markets, the Open-Q 610 µSOM is designed for developers seeking to innovate new products utilizing the latest vision and AI edge capabilities, such as smart connected cameras, video conference systems, machine vision and robotics. With the Open Q-610 µSOM, developers gain a pre-tested, pre-certified, production-ready computing model that will reduce risk and expedite innovative product development.

The Open-Q 610 µSOM will provide the core computing capabilities for:

  • Image process
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Audio
  • Sensors

Connectivity solutions include Wi-Fi®/BT, Gigabit Ethernet, multiple USB ports and three-camera interfaces.

“Our long and successful relationship with Qualcomm Technologies enables us to deliver powerful micro SOM solutions that can accelerate IoT design and implementation, empowering innovators to create IoT applications that go beyond hardware and enable their wildest dreams,” said Jonathan Shipman, VP of Strategy at Lantronix Inc.
