MEC4000 – Intelligent Mobile Edge Computer for Railway and Automotive Applications
Powerful data processing, AI acceleration and secure communication in the vehicle and on the rails
The MEC4000 is a compact, rugged mobile edge computer designed specifically for use in rail and automotive environments. It combines LTE connectivity, GPS tracking, an integrated managed Ethernet switch and AI acceleration (Neural Processing Unit) in a fanless industrial housing. With optional 5G and Wi-Fi 6 support, full power and communication redundancy, and PCIe/USB expandability, the MEC4000 is perfect for data-intensive applications with high availability requirements.
Unlike the RAR4000, the MEC4000 can also run applications in software containers, enabling edge intelligence, predictive maintenance, video analytics and more – directly in the vehicle or on the track.
Optional secure remote access (VPN) is available to enable protected communication and remote diagnostics.
