Lantronix Showcases AI-Powered SmartLV Gateway at Embedded World
Lantronix is set to demonstrate its groundbreaking SmartLV, the first AI-enabled IoT Edge Compute Cellular Gateway, at Embedded World in Nuremberg, highlighting its real-time power monitoring capabilities.
Lantronix, a global leader in IoT solutions, is poised to unveil its innovative SmartLV gateway at Embedded World in Nuremberg from March 11-13, 2025. This pioneering device, powered by Qualcomm's Dragonwing IQ-615 processor, represents a significant leap in AI-enabled IoT technology for smart grids and industrial applications.
SmartLV Gateway: A Leap in Smart Grid Technology
The SmartLV gateway is designed specifically for low-voltage substations and distribution automation in next-generation smart grids. It combines advanced edge computing with AI capabilities to provide real-time insights and control over energy distribution networks. This allows Distribution System Operators (DSOs) to manage energy flow efficiently, even during peak demand periods, by optimizing power distribution and reducing usage costs.
Key Features of SmartLV
- AI-Enabled Edge Computing: Facilitates real-time decision-making directly at the substation, enabling intelligent energy steering and dynamic adjustments based on grid conditions.
- High-Speed Connectivity: Offers LTE and 5G-ready cellular communication for reliable, low-latency operations.
- Multi-Protocol Communication: Seamlessly integrates with existing infrastructure via Ethernet, Serial, I/O, and industrial protocol conversion suites.
- Advanced Cybersecurity: Fortified with Lantronix’s InfiniShield security framework to protect against cyber threats.
At Embedded World, Lantronix will showcase the SmartLV gateway's capabilities in real-world scenarios, focusing on real-time power consumption monitoring for low-voltage grids. This demonstration will highlight how the gateway can help grid operators optimize power distribution by combining real-time consumption data with pricing information.
The SmartLV gateway is the result of a strategic partnership between Lantronix and Qualcomm Technologies. It is scheduled for launch in calendar year 2025, with trials beginning in late 2024 for selected DSOs. This collaboration underscores the commitment of both companies to advancing IoT and AI technologies in critical infrastructure sectors.
The introduction of the SmartLV gateway marks a significant step forward in the evolution of smart grids. By providing real-time visibility and control over energy distribution, it enables utilities and industrial operators to enhance efficiency, reliability, and security in their operations. As the energy landscape continues to evolve, innovations like the SmartLV will play a crucial role in addressing future energy demands.
