VIA Technologies has launched its powerful new range of IoT platforms, the SOM-5000, VAB-5000, and ARTiGO A5000, designed for industrial, commercial, and consumer applications that require highly capable edge AI.
Product designers have the option of the VIA SOM-5000, an advanced system-on-module that mounts into a carrier board; the VAB-5000, a pico-ITX form factor with built-in flexible I/O, a 40-pin RPi compatible connector, and direct DC power; and the ARTiGO A5000, an ultra-compact full system. All three are fanless designs, offering exceptional power-efficiency and extensibility.
At their heart, the MediaTek Genio 700 provides a powerful octa-core CPU featuring two Arm Cortex-A78 processors, plus a highly capable Mali-G57 GPU, dual display support, and advanced AV1/H.265/H.264 video decoding. Its multi-core NPU accelerates edge AI applications, enabling immediate responsiveness with on-chip processing. The integrated ISP supports very high-resolution cameras via the dual MIPI CSI interface. Connectivity includes Gigabit Ethernet MAC, plus options for WiFi-6 and 5G wireless connectivity. Applications can be developed using popular Android, Yocto Linux, or Ubuntu OS, and benefit from MediaTek’s NeuroPilot SDK for accelerating AI integration.

Among the growing uses of AI, one potential application is industrial systems. AI extends the capabilities of machines to sense, learn, reason, and interact with humans in ways that are natural, intuitive, and complementary to the way we work. By pairing AI with IoT to create edge-AI, and connecting insights across production processes, manufacturers can achieve higher quality final products, while also increasing the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of industrial processes. In fact, a recent McKinsey survey found that AI has the potential to unlock approximately $1 trillion in value from the global industrial sector.1
Several use cases have been identified outlining how industrial manufacturers can capture value from AI through technologies such as vision systems, speech-to-text, enhanced connectivity and smart power management:

As one of the first adopters of Wi-Fi 7 technology, we wasted no time in establishing an ecosystem of fast, reliable and always-on products that enable MediaTek Filogic Wi-Fi 7 support. Recently, Verizon announced the launch of its network’s latest Business Internet Gateway, which marks the first product on Verizon’s network to use Wi-Fi 7, and is also one of the first devices in the world to support next-generation Wi-Fi connectivity features such as tri-band and 4×4 antenna capabilities.
The new Verizon Business Internet Gateway features MediaTek’s next-generation modem and router all in one device. In addition to Wi-Fi 7 support provided by the MediaTek Filogic 680, it utilizes the MediaTek T830 5G chipset, which comes with 4CC 300MHz 5G modem capability, 3GPP Release 16 functionality, and is capable of 5G speeds up to 7Gbps. The chip is made using a highly advanced 4nm process for significant power savings, and supports multiple Ethernet options, with speeds up to 10Gbps.
By working closely with Verizon to integrate MediaTek’s Wi-Fi 7 capabilities into the Gateway, users can now enjoy a router that comes with superior performance and design compared to competing FWA devices on the market. After years of development, we are looking forward to seeing the improved experiences that next-generation wireless technology enables for consumers and businesses in the United States.
The Verizon Business Internet Gateway is now available to its Business Internet customers. Learn more about MediaTek’s 5G Broadband and Wi-Fi 7 platforms >
