Compact, Rugged for Extreme Environments, Intel Core Ultra Meteor Lake H Boosts Performance 30%
New Taipei City, Taiwan – May 29th, 2025 – NEXCOM is pleased to expand its range of in-vehicle AI-assisted telematics computers, with the new VTC 7280-xC5. These compact, fanless devices are centered around Intel’s first AI-oriented CPU with powerful in-built NPU and GPU cores, the Intel® Core Ultra Meteor Lake H series. The VTC 7280-xC5 computers are currently available in two variants the VTC 7280-7C5 and VTC 7280-5C5 (driven by Intel’s CPU Ultra7 and CPU Ultra5 respectively). These Intel® Core Ultra Meteor-Lake H processors deliver up to 26 TOPS of AI computing power.
Thanks to the upgraded CPU and I/O function enhancements, the VTC 7280-xC5 offers a 30% performance boost over its predecessors. The compact, rugged, fanless design fits into space-constrained areas and operates reliably in harsh conditions. It is ideal for numerous in-vehicle applications, including Edge AI and public transportation security surveillance.
Responsive AI at the Edge
The computer’s native AI and machine learning capabilities make possible fast on-board processing of complex tasks including image recognition, video input analysis, sensor synthesis, audio analysis, speech recognition and more. An expansion socket for a Hailo AI module can augment the CPU’s powerful AI processing when required. These features are particularly useful in safety, surveillance and human communication applications.
Extensive I/O and Communication Interfaces
Key features include POE ports suitable for IP cameras, WLAN, and 9-36V DC/IGN control. The computer has massive expansion and communications potential including 5x 2.5GbE PoE++, USB 3.2 and 3x USB 2.0, 2x isolated CAN FD, three serial ports, NVMe/2.5-inch SSD, 4x nano-SIM slot, two HDMI, and a wide-range 9-36V DC with ignition control. As an Edge AI computer, the VTC 7280-xC5 supports multi-LTE/5G and Wi-Fi 5/6 for cloud SaaS to provide AIoT/AI inference services.
Robust, Durable and Standards Compliant
Designed to withstand harsh environments, the VTC 7280-xC5 operates at temperatures ranging from -40°C to 60°C and complies with the MIL-STD-810H military standard for vibration and shock resistance. A built-in heater ensures stable low temperature operation. This computer is certified to meet global standards, including CE/FCC Class A, UKCA, and E mark (E13).
