BIOSTAR has just rolled out a new addition to its embedded edge computing system lineup called the EdgeComp MS-1335U, and it’s pretty much tailor-made for smart city environments and connected infrastructure.
Compatible with various segments of usage, including digital signage, municipal systems, or those sleek self-service kiosks, this compact machine is built to handle it all quietly and efficiently.
Running an Intel Raptor Lake SoC processor, there’s up to 10 cores running at speeds of up to 4.6 GHz as well as support for up to 96GB of DDR5 5200 MHz memory and PCIe Gen4 plus SATAIII storage options, so it’s more than capable of managing everything from 4K visuals to real-time data processing at the edge.
Connectivity-wise, it’s loaded. You get quad-display output with HDMI 2.0, DP++ 1.4, and dual USB Type-C ports, making it ideal for multi-screen digital signage or interactive kiosks. Add in dual Intel 2.5GbE LAN, four COM ports, and a variety of USB interfaces, and you’ve got a machine that’s ready to plug into POS systems, sensors, ticket machines—pretty much any peripheral you throw at it. It also offers optional 4G/5G and WiFi/Bluetooth modules, so it’s perfect for mobile or remote deployments.
But where it really shines is its edge AI readiness. The MS-1335U supports AI workloads and on-site inference, making it capable of real-time decision-making for applications like traffic systems, retail analytics, or smart infrastructure monitoring. It’s also rugged enough for industrial use, operating reliably between 0°C and 60°C with a space-saving 182 x 150 x 48 mm footprint.
On the software side, it plays nice with Windows 10/11, Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, and Ubuntu 20.04, giving developers and integrators the flexibility they need across different environments.
In short, if you’re building the backbone of a smart city—or even a high-performance interactive kiosk—the EdgeComp MS-1335U is the kind of hardware that can quietly get the job done with power, precision, and connectivity to spare.
