Lantronix Inc. a global leader in compute and connectivity IoT solutions powering Edge AI applications, announced the debut of its new SmartEdge.ai 5G-ready Edge AI Gateway and SmartSwitch.ai PoE+ aggregation switch with onboard AI capabilities. The solutions form an integrated Edge AI surveillance and intelligent connectivity platform designed to enable real-time video analytics, AI-driven insights and scalable power and data aggregation across enterprise and industrial environments.
5G Edge AI Platform for Real-Time Surveillance
Key Capabilities
- Smart Video Insights: Real-time object detection, tracking and vehicle monitoring.
- Security Monitoring: Intrusion detection via integrated camera feeds.
- Building Automation: Control of access points, lighting, shades, temperature and occupancy.
- Predictive Maintenance: Automated network analysis, event detection and reporting.
- High-Performance Aggregation: 10 1G/10G open SFP+ ports and two 1G/10G RJ45 ports with a 10G/25G SFP28 uplink.
- Autonomous Network Management: Remote deployment, orchestration and monitoring for reduced operating costs.
“AI-powered intelligence at the edge is reshaping how organizations secure, automate and understand their environments,” said Saleel Awsare, CEO of Lantronix. “With SmartEdge.ai and SmartSwitch.ai, we’re delivering a unified platform that brings advanced video analytics and intelligent connectivity directly to the site data generation. Powered by Qualcomm Technologies’ high-performance processing, Lantronix is enabling customers to deploy scalable, real-time AI applications that unlock new levels of safety, efficiency and automation.”
Strategic Market Impact
The global video surveillance market is projected to almost double from approximately $73.8 billion in 2024 to approximately $147.7 billion by 2030, driven by IP cameras, cloud VMS and analytics, implying approximately 12 percent CAGR from 2025–2030. SmartEdge.ai and SmartSwitch.ai position Lantronix at the center of the rapidly expanding market for AI-enabled surveillance, intelligent buildings and distributed edge infrastructure. As organizations shift video analytics and security workloads away from the cloud and toward premises-based edge compute, demand is rising for integrated solutions that combine real-time AI inferencing at the Edge, high-bandwidth connectivity and autonomous device management — the exact capabilities delivered in Lantronix’s new platform.
Lantronix’s SmartEdge.ai + SmartSwitch.ai Platform Unlocks:
- Entry into high-growth AI surveillance and smart-building segments, where real-time analytics, automation and multi-camera environments require powerful on-site compute.
- New recurring revenue streams driven by multi-site deployments, device orchestration and long-lifecycle industrial systems.
- Strengthened partnerships across the AI ecosystem, including deeper alignment with Qualcomm Technologies’ high-performance, low-power edge processing platforms.
- Margin expansion opportunities through higher-value compute, analytics and intelligent network products.
With a combined hardware and software platform built for scalability, reliability and industrial performance, Lantronix is well positioned to capture market share as enterprises accelerate adoption of edge-based vision AI, security automation and smart infrastructure modernization.
