AI-Powered Processing

Acting as a data gateway and pre-processor, the SmartHub enables AI-driven decision making with the DroneOptID and ComputeNode systems.

Advantages

  • Enables Advanced Sensor Fusion

    The SmartHub aggregates and prioritises large volumes of sensor data, consistently relaying this information to the ComputeNode. This facilitates smart sensor fusion techniques, reducing data storage and bandwidth requirements, while improving latency and response times

  • High-Quality Connectivity

    The SmartHub ensures reliable operation with military-grade connectors and durable construction, providing consistent power and data connectivity in all environmental conditions. The SmartHub provides a stable access point to monitor and configure sensors, both onsite and remotely

  • Automatic Device Detection

    The SmartHub scans its local network for new sensors, and automatically installs and configures them upon detection

  • Secure Ecosystem and Encrypted Connection

    The SmartHub gives users full control over which devices are passing data into their system. The device secures the link between sensor data and the remote ComputeNode, ensuring encrypted data transport

  • Highly Portable

    The Edge Deploy Case is under 1m (3.3ft) in length and weighs ~50kg (110lb) with a complete configuration. This allows it to be transported in most vehicles, carried by two personnel, or moved by a single operator using built-in wheels
