reComputer R1000 Raspberry Pi CM4-powered IoT Gateway runs open-source software for Edge AI applications (Sponsored)

Seeed Studio is a Raspberry Pi-approved reseller and device designer. In May 2024, Seeed released their first edge IoT Raspberry Pi-powered gateway and controller, reComputer R1000. It is Raspberry Pi CM4-powered, with AI capabilities when equipped with Hailo NPU. It comes with all the necessary features that a robust and reliable industrial edge IoT device needs, along with rich and versatile interfaces like three RS485 ports, dual Ethernet, and flexible IoT wireless communication (4G, LoRa, Wi-Fi/BLE, Zigbee) and essential functional modules (GPS, UPS, TPM2.0, PoE, SSD, etc.). With Modbus and BACnet supported, it’s a perfect fit for remote access control, especially BMS, BAS, and iBMS. You’ll find more technical details in our previous article about the reComputer R1025, and on Seeed Studio’s product page where you can also purchase the AIoT gateway.

reComputer R1000 key features

As a powerful edge IoT controller and gateway with AI capabilities, it
