This can easily handle real-time analysis of multiple high-definition video streams and abnormal behavior recognition in security scenarios, as well as local data inference and device linkage control in industrial edge computing. It is also suitable for small to medium-scale AI applications in retail, government affairs, etc., covering diverse needs from basic intelligence to mid-to-high-end computing power, avoiding waste and maximizing cost-effectiveness.
Powerful Multimedia and Interaction Capabilities
- Integrates an Adreno™ 643 GPU, supports 4K video encoding/decoding and dual-screen display with different content. It can smoothly support immersive graphics rendering for VR/AR devices and high-definition display with multitasking in smart cockpits, making multimedia interaction experiences smoother and more stable.
High-Speed, Stable Full-Scenario Connectivity
- The SIMCOM 5G AI Module integrates 2×2 MIMO Wi-Fi 6E, supporting the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands with throughput up to 3.6Gbps. It also integrates Bluetooth 5.2, ensuring stable, high-speed data transmission for devices in dense wireless environments. Whether it’s real-time data synchronization between devices and the cloud in a smart factory or the immediate upload of customer traffic analysis data in a mall, reliable connectivity is guaranteed.
Industrial-Grade Reliability and Expandability
- Features a wide operating temperature range from -35°C to +75°C, confidently handling challenges in complex environments like outdoor vehicles, unattended retail kiosks, and industrial sites. It offers rich hardware interfaces including multiple MIPI-CSI camera interfaces and PCIe Gen3, allowing flexible connection to various peripherals and adapting to complex environments like automotive, industrial, and outdoor retail.
What Can 12 TOPS Do?
12 TOPS of AI computing power means terminal devices can handle more complex, real-time AI tasks, moving from simple “seeing” to “understanding” and reacting quickly.
More Accurate Real-Time Visual Recognition
- In smart retail scenarios, an intelligent weighing scale or self-checkout terminal equipped with the SIM9650W can process multiple camera streams simultaneously, instantly and accurately identifying hundreds of types of vegetables, fruits, or bakery items with similar shapes and colors, multiplying checkout efficiency.
More Complex Multimodal Analysis
- In industrial quality inspection, devices can run multiple AI models concurrently, such as appearance detection, OCR reading, and abnormal sound analysis, performing comprehensive automated product inspection to enhance production quality and efficiency.
Smoother Immersive Interaction
- For devices like helmets or service robots, 12 TOPS of computing power is sufficient to support real-time SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), gesture recognition, and object interaction, providing users with a smooth and natural immersive experience.
Rich Scenarios: Empowering Intelligent Upgrades Across Industries
The SIM9650W can be widely applied in cutting-edge fields such as smart retail, smart industry, intelligent automotive, public safety, and emerging consumer electronics, delivering core value to customers:
Cost Reduction, Faster Time-to-Market
- The practical computing power configuration avoids redundant investment. Combined with mature technical support, it effectively shortens customer product R&D cycles and reduces overall costs.
Enhanced Product Competitiveness
- Balances performance, cost, and reliability, enabling customers to create more differentiated, competitive, and cost-effective terminal products.
Ensuring Stability and Ease of Implementation
- Industrial-grade design ensures stable operation in complex environments. The validated computing platform significantly lowers the threshold and risk of AI project implementation.
Leading a New Direction for On-Device AI Implementation
