MEC4000 – Intelligent Mobile Edge Computer for Railway and Automotive Applications
High-Performance Data Processing, AI Acceleration and Secure Connectivity in Rolling Stock and Infrastructure
The MEC4000 is a compact, rugged Mobile Edge Computer designed for use in rail and automotive environments. It combines LTE connectivity, high-precision GPS, an integrated managed Ethernet switch, and a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for AI acceleration, all housed in a fanless industrial enclosure. With optional 5G and Wi-Fi 6, full redundancy in power and communications, and PCIe/USB expansion, the MEC4000 is the ideal solution for data-heavy applications with demanding availability requirements.
In contrast to the RAR4000, the MEC4000 also supports containerized software applications, enabling edge intelligence, predictive maintenance, video analytics, and more — directly onboard or trackside.
Optional secure remote access (VPN) is available for protected communication and diagnostics.
