Vecow EAC-5000 Features NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin SoM, Offering Server-Class Performance for Edge AI Applications

Vecow has launched a feature-rich edge AI computing system that guarantees power-efficient AI productivity, flexible integration, and mobile availability: the Vecow EAC-5000.

Designed to deliver faster and/or more energy-efficient performance for machine vision and automotive applications, the Vecow EAC-5000 embedded computer is powered by NVIDIA’s Jetson AGX Orin system-on-module, the latest and most powerful module in the Jetson family, capable of delivering 275 TOPS of AI performance (more than 8 times the AI performance of the earlier NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier module). The NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin module also boasts of an Ampere architecture GPU with state-of-the-art graphics and parallel computing techniques, a 12-core Arm Cortex-A78AE CPU running at up to 2.2 GHz, and the second generation of NVIDIA DLA (Deep Learning Accelerators) with 9x times the performance of the previous generation. With other features like a multi-standard encoder and decoder, JPEG Codec, and the second generation of a Programmable Vision Accelerator supporting common computer vision kernels, the module no doubt is on a higher level when it comes to the performance achievable by embedded system-on-module.

Vecow EAC-5000 is also characterized by various wireless connectivity options such as WiFi, 5G, 4G LTE, 6x antennas, support for up to 8x GMLS2 cameras, 1x PCIe x8 slot, 2 GbE LAN, 5x USB, 2x SIM card sockets, 1x software ignition control, a wide range input DC of 9V to 50V, and temperature range of -20 to 70°C. It can be wall mounted with a mounting bracket, and the company offers an optional DIN Rail mount too.

The EAC-5000 system comes in two variants, depending on the version of the module it comes with. The specifications highlighted below give in-depth details about that.
