Overview

The VVDN Industrial Edge Gateway is a high-performance platform designed, developed, and manufactured by VVDN Technologies, powered by the latest NXP i.MX 94/95 applications processor. It is engineered for real-time data processing, autonomous control, and deterministic operations at the network edge.

The gateway is targeted for industrial automation, robotics, machine vision, and smart mobility applications where low latency, high reliability, and strong security are critical. Enabling on-device data processing and analytics minimizes cloud dependency, reduces bandwidth usage, and ensures faster system response times.

Built on a System-on-Module (SoM) + Carrier Board architecture, the platform offers high design flexibility and faster customization. The carrier board features an M.2 expansion interface, enabling integration of additional AI accelerators or NPUs to support compute-intensive edge AI workloads.

Key Features:

  • Scalable Edge Intelligence: Optional ARA-2 M.2 add-on NPU ( up to 40-TOPS) to handle demanding AI workloads, complex machine learning models, and extensive on-device analytics, significantly reducing cloud dependency.
  • Expandable LoRaWAN Support: Integrate long-range, high-density IoT connectivity via a dedicated expansion slot, powered by the VVDN-designed Semtech LoRa SX1303 Gateway Module.
  • Industrial-Optimized Design: Purpose-built and tuned for industrial automation and control environments.
  • Industrial Protocol Support: Supports key industrial communication protocols, including CAN and Modbus (RTU/TCP) for reliable, real-time data exchange in automation and control systems.
  • Interfaces & Connectivity: Multiple wired and wireless options, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth (BLE), and LTE/5G enabling flexible deployment.
  • Security & Safety: Utilizes EdgeLock® advanced hardware security and is designed with functional safety readiness to protect critical data and ensure reliable operation.
  • Versatile Platform: Suitable for industrial, automotive and other mission-critical edge deployments.
