IMDT has announced a collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies. This partnership will see the integration of Qualcomm Technologies’ IoT processors into IMDT’s energy-efficient, cost-effective System-on-Modules (SOMs), Single-Board Computers (SBCs), and solutions.
IMDT’s product range, now enhanced by Qualcomm Technologies, offers high performance and advanced capabilities across various applications, including robotics, drones, video collaboration, and smart retail. Leading the line-up are the IMDT QCS8550 SOM and SBC, powered by the Qualcomm QCS8550 processor. This processor, now available for pre-order, delivers exceptional computing power, advanced Edge AI processing, Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, and superior video and graphics, making it suitable for demanding AIoT applications.
The collaboration combines Qualcomm Technologies’ cutting-Edge processors with IMDT’s expertise in delivering end-to-end solutions, from initial design through to hardware and software development, and integration into Edge devices, including production and manufacturing. This approach ensures unmatched performance and efficiency in creating bespoke AIoT solutions.
“This collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies marks a pivotal moment for IMDT,” said Avi Shimon, CEO of IMDT. “By utilising Qualcomm Technologies’ advanced processing technology, we are ready to deliver superior AI and edge computing solutions. As the AIoT applications market continues to grow, the demand for high-performance processors will surge. Qualcomm Technologies is uniquely positioned to drive this trend with its strong IC portfolio. With our engineering expertise, we can significantly shorten time-to-market and reduce costs, fulfilling our mission to simplify and accelerate the development of advanced vision and AI-powered systems.”
“Qualcomm Technologies’ IoT solutions are driving a wave of innovation at the edge, unlocking new applications and opportunities for businesses,” added Enrico Salvatori, SVP and President Qualcomm Europe, Qualcomm Europe. “We are thrilled to work with IMDT to accelerate the adoption of AI and Edge computing technologies through the launch of their powerful, efficient and AI-ready module powered by the premium-tier IoT Qualcomm QCS8550 processor.”
Looking ahead, IMDT is also developing a new series based on the Qualcomm QCS6490 processor, expected to be available for pre-order in Q4 2024. This new product line highlights IMDT’s ongoing commitment to technological advancement and delivering cutting-edge solutions to its customers.
The IMDT QCS8550-based SOM, measuring just 37 x 30 x 4mm, is a production-ready module that supports up to 20 cameras via 8 x 4-lane MIPI CSI connections. The module also offers customisable features, including onboard Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, various memory and storage options, and PHY configurations, allowing users to tailor the system to their specific requirements.
