BOXER-8222AI: The Power of AI at the Edge

AAEON announces the BOXER-8222AI compact system powered by NVIDIA Jetson Nano. Featuring a PoE PD LAN port, the BOXER-8222AI can be powered by a PSE Gateway allowing for deployment without requiring a dedicated power supply.

The BOXER-8222AI is the latest platform in AAEON’s family of compact rugged AI systems powered by the innovative and energy-efficient NVIDIA Jetson Nano SoC. Specialized for AI edge computing, the Jetson Nano utilizes the quad-core ARM Cortex-A57 MPCore processor with NVIDIA Maxwell™ GPU architecture featuring 128 NVIDIA CUDA cores. This innovative design allows processing speeds up to 472 GFLOPs and is capable of operating multiple neural networks or processing several high-resolution images at the same time. The NVIDIA Jetson Nano also features onboard 4GB RAM and MicroSD card slot supporting up to 32GB of storage.

The BOXER-8222AI is unique in its design by featuring a PoE PD (Powered Device) LAN port. This allows for deployment without a dedicated power supply by connecting with a PSE Gateway (Power Supply Equipment). The BOXER-8222AI utilizes the 802.3at standard, supporting power input of 25.6W, more than enough to power the system and connected devices such as USB cameras and sensors.

The BOXER-8222AI also features a flexible I/O loadout including a 40-pin I/O connector designed to support a wide range of sensors and controllers. It also features four USB3.2 Gen 2 ports, RS-232 COM port, as well as LAN, CANBus and HDMI ports. The BOXER-8222AI also supports Wi-Fi expansion with an onboard M.2 2230 slot.

The BOXER-8222AI is designed to operate in a range of rugged environments, featuring a fan-less design to ensure reliable operation. It can operate in temperatures from -10°C up to 70°C without a loss in performance. Its compact size also makes it easy to deploy in tight spaces, putting it closer to where it’s needed.

AAEON offers industry-leading service and support with the BOXER-8222AI, from providing technical support to end-to-end solutions to help reduce deployment times and shorten time to market. AAEON also offers manufacturer and OEM/ODM services to help with creating custom configurations or designing systems from the ground up.
