IRVINE, Calif. – Lantronix Inc. , a global leader in compute and connectivity IoT solutions powering Edge AI applications, today announced that its NDAA/TAA-compliant solution has been selected by Gremsy, a leading global manufacturer of advanced camera gimbal stabilizers for drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Leveraging its strong history in camera applications, Lantronix continues to increase its momentum in the drone market with this breakthrough solution, which provides improved power efficiency for longer drone operational times while consuming less energy when processing tasks.
Built on Lantronix’s Open-Q™ 5165RB System on Module (SoM) based on the Qualcomm® Dragonwing™ processor, the solution powers Gremsy’s new drone platform and its Lynx ISR payload, built for seamless integration with the Hadron 640R dual thermal-visible camera from Teledyne FLIR OEM. This integrated solution is currently in production with multiple Lantronix customers.
Designed to enable drone integrators to deliver high-performance, low-power compute and real-time AI capabilities, this solution shortens Gremsy’s time-to-market while providing long-term revenue opportunities for Lantronix in the fast-growing commercial and defense drone sectors. With Lantronix’s relationship with Gremsy and other drone industry manufacturers, Lantronix has expanded its global go-to-market reach, strengthening its position as the trusted source for reliable, compliant solutions for enabling cameras for drones. This combination of AI performance and compliance creates a sustainable advantage for Lantronix in the rapidly expanding defense and autonomous systems market.
“Lantronix is a valued contributor to our next-generation platform, supporting the development of secure, compliant drone solutions. We chose Lantronix over the competition as it is the trusted global leader in the global drone industry as well as its long-standing relationship with Qualcomm. With its Qualcomm Dragonwing-based solutions, Lantronix delivers industry firsts, including a direct connection with the FLIR Hadron 640R, enabling the Lynx payload with Edge-based capabilities in real-time,” said Nguyen Van Chu, vice general director at Gremsy.
“With an increasing number of top-tier global drone customers, Lantronix is a critical enabler of secure, high-performance drone platforms,” said Saleel Awsare, CEO of Lantronix. “Our work with Gremsy as well as a growing number of drone industry manufacturers and developers demonstrates our ability to deliver at scale while meeting stringent NDAA and TAA requirements demanded in government and defense applications.”
“The integration of our Hadron thermal-visible camera module and Prism software into Lantronix’s solution brings advanced image signal processing and AI capabilities to edge devices,” said Mike Walters, VP of Product Management at Teledyne FLIR OEM. “It will now accelerate the development of next-gen, AI-enabled camera solutions in Gremsy’s secure, compliant drone platform for defense and industrial operations.”
