About the ALPON category

Support and discussions for the Sixfab ALPON series. Deploy rugged, fanless industrial edge AI computers and IoT gateways built on the Raspberry Pi Compute Module.

Welcome to the ALPON category! This is your dedicated community space for Sixfab’s family of rugged, fanless industrial edge AI computers and IoT gateways. Built on the powerful Raspberry Pi Compute Module, ALPON devices are engineered for demanding real-world deployments.

Whether you are using the ALPON X4 for reliable LTE-connected edge computing or the ALPON X5 AI equipped with a 25 TOPS DeepX DX-M1 NPU for real-time on-device AI inference, this is the place to collaborate. You can run advanced models like YOLOv5, YOLOv7, and SCRFD locally without relying on the cloud.

Both devices deliver robust performance featuring:

  • Multi-network connectivity - Ethernet, Wi-Fi, LTE, eSIM
  • TPM 2.0 security
  • DIN rail mounting
  • Seamless remote fleet management

Combine cellular connectivity, rugged hardware, and containerized applications at the edge to build secure and scalable industrial IoT solutions.
