Why Qualcomm for connected edge AI
5G + Wi-Fi 7 Native
No external modems. Cellular and wireless connectivity built into the SoC — enabling true always-connected edge AI for field deployment, fleet management, and remote monitoring.
Ultra-Low Power AI
Up to 10.4 TOPS/W — the highest AI efficiency per watt on any mobile-class platform. Battery-powered and solar-powered edge AI becomes feasible at 5W–15W total system power.
ISP + AI Camera Pipeline
Hardware ISP with AI-powered 3A (auto-focus, exposure, white balance) + NPU inference in a single pipeline. Process camera-to-insight with zero CPU overhead.
Android & Linux Ecosystem
Leverage the massive Android developer ecosystem for rapid prototyping. Linux RTOS for production deployment. Qualcomm Neural Processing SDK for model optimisation.
Heterogeneous Compute
CPU (Kryo) + GPU (Adreno) + NPU (Hexagon) + DSP + ISP — five compute engines on a single chip. Each workload runs on its optimal engine for maximum efficiency.
Compact SoM Form Factor
30mm × 30mm system-on-module packages enable the smallest possible edge AI devices — smart cameras, drones, wearables, and embedded controllers.
Where Qualcomm edge AI delivers
Smart AI Cameras
On-device analytics with ISP + NPU pipeline for smart retail, traffic monitoring, and security. Native 5G upload of metadata — not raw video.
Connected Retail
Shelf analytics, customer flow, queue management, and digital signage with Android UI — all in a compact, fanless, always-connected device.
Commercial Drones
On-drone AI for agriculture, inspection, and mapping. Hexagon DSP for real-time flight control + NPU for computer vision in a 5W–15W envelope.
Interactive Kiosks
Touch-screen AI kiosks with facial analytics, voice assistant, and real-time recommendations. Android UI + NPU inference in a single compact SoM.
RDP integration for Qualcomm platforms
Custom Carrier & Antenna Design
RDP-designed carrier boards with optimised antenna placement for 5G/Wi-Fi 7 performance. RF-validated enclosures for India’s spectrum bands.
Product Enclosure Design
From compact smart camera housings to outdoor IP66 enclosures — industrial design meets India-optimised thermal management for 45°C+ ambient.
MII & GeM Listing
Make-in-India certified final products. GeM-listed for government procurement. STQC and BIS tested for institutional deployment.
Volume Manufacturing (10–10,000)
ISO 9001 production from prototype to volume. SoM integration, antenna calibration, firmware flashing, and functional testing — all under one roof.
