About
About Lantronix
Lantronix offers a path from embedded prototypes to managed fleets. Its Open-Q development kits pair a production system-on-module with a carrier board that exposes camera, display and control interfaces. Engineers can evaluate onboard image processing and connect peripherals before incorporating the module into their own device; the Open-Q 615IQ kit, for example, combines a SMARC module with a Yocto Linux development platform.
For deployed infrastructure, Percepxion handles device onboarding, configuration and firmware oversight. The SLC 9000 console server uses the platform for remote provisioning and inventory management, while cellular connectivity provides access during primary-network outages. APIs connect these management functions to an organisation's existing automation tools, linking local hardware with central operations.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-10-13 - Product Launch - Lantronix introduces Spotter autonomy compute platform
Qualcomm Dragonwing QCS6490 provides up to 12.5 TOPS at single-digit watts on a 42 × 120 mm board. The platform combines AI, vision, sensing and vehicle control, supporting PX4, ArduPilot, Betaflight and MAVLink. Lantronix is previewing Spotter at AUSA in Washington, D.C.
Source - 2026-07-30 - Partnership - Lantronix and Swarmer develop Group 1 UAS autonomy compute module
The custom module combines Lantronix Open-Q 6490CS hardware with preloaded Swarmer OS. The companies say the design provides more than four times the onboard processing of current platforms for navigation, targeting and collaborative autonomy. The programme targets a production-ready, NDAA-compliant module for small military uncrewed aircraft.
