System-on-Module Solutions

Lantronix’ embedded SOMs provide a powerful foundation for drone platform development, replacing the multiple processors used by traditional designs with a single intelligent capability that makes it easier and faster to deploy AI-based solutions. With seamless integration into virtually any platform, these modules reduce development costs and enable faster time-to-market.

Lantronix is recognized as a key Western scaling partner for Qualcomm, with over two decades of experience in leveraging its compute and connectivity solutions.

Development Kits

Lantronix SOM Development Kits pair a production-ready SOM with everything developers need to start building right out of the box, providing an easy and convenient method of evaluating and prototyping drone and AI applications.

The System-On-Module development kits offer a wide variety of I/O and connectivity options, as well as JTAG and debug ports.

Drone Reference Platform

Based around the Qualcomm® Dragonwing™ QCS8550, the Lantronix Drone Reference Platform works with mavlink compatible external flight controllers, such as Unusual Machines’ H7 Flight controller or Pixhawk, allowing OEMs and developers to significantly accelerate development, validation, testing and deployment.

With pre-integrated hardware and software, this solution is ideal for a wide range of multirotor and fixed-wing concepts, and enables the creation of flight-ready prototypes in weeks instead of months.

The platform features a FLIR Hadron 640R thermal camera with built-in AI-powered detection and tracking, and is ideal for a wide range of use cases including surveillance, search and rescue, inspection and monitoring, and more.

Lantronix’ Drone Reference Platform also supports other SOM development kits.
