Lantronix Inc, a global provider of compute and connectivity IoT solutions that target high-growth industries, including Smart Cities, Automotive and Enterprise, announced its new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 mobile hardware development kit (HDK). A single-board computer (SBC) built on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Platform, the new HDK provides an expandable, feature-rich starting point for the development of new mobile applications and devices utilizing Qualcomm™ Technologies Inc.’s Snapdragon 8650 System-on-Chip (SoC).
“Our new hardware development kit is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 platform that delivers nearly double the AI performance of the previous model, enabling the development of powerful AI solutions that open up new possibilities in robotics, video and edge AI,” said Brian Jaroszewski, director of Product Line Management at Lantronix. “Based on our long-standing relationship with Qualcomm, Lantronix continually delivers cutting-edge solutions that empower its customers to create breakthrough technology-driven solutions.”
According to Grand View Research, the Multimodal AI Market was estimated at $1.3 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 35.8 percent from 2024 to 2030.
