ALPON X5 edge AI computer.
ALPON X5 is a fanless, LTE-connected, 25-TOPS AI inference engine. At its core is the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5)l
Key specs include:
- DEEPX DX-M1 AI accelerator (25 TOPS)
- Built-in LTE/eSIM, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth
- Industrial-grade aluminum chassis, fanless design
- Modular NVMe SSD and eMMC storage
- I/O for industrial environments
- Preloaded with Sixfab’s ALPON Cloud for fleet management
ALPON X5 processes AI models locally, on-device—cutting latency and eliminating the need for constant connectivity.
Whether it’s YOLOv7 object detection in a warehouse or lane-line segmentation on an autonomous drone, inference happens at the edge.
ALPON X5 is compatible will all major AI frameworks.
In initial demos, ALPON X5 has run workloads including YOLOPose for human pose estimation, SCRFD for lightweight face detection, and VGG16 for semantic segmentation.
Because the system runs standard AI frameworks—TensorFlow Lite, ONNX, PyTorch, and OpenVINO—developers don’t need to retool their pipeline to fit a proprietary SDK.
The price on Kickstarter is $549 for early backers, $750 MSRP.
