Axiomtek RSC101 Intel Celeron J6413 Hailo-8 Fanless AI Edge Computers with 26 TOPS

Not every vision workload needs a GPU module and the software stack that comes with it. Many camera analytics jobs run well on a dedicated neural accelerator beside an ordinary x86 processor, which keeps the operating system, drivers and tools familiar to an IT team. The Axiomtek RSC101 series takes that approach: palm-sized AI edge computers that combine an Intel Celeron J6413 with a Hailo-8 AI accelerator.

Every RSC101 shares the same board and I/O. The Celeron J6413 is an Intel Elkhart Lake processor with one DDR4 SO-DIMM slot taking up to 32GB, and the Hailo-8 adds up to 26 TOPS for inference, leaving the CPU free for the application, video decode and networking. Two GbE ports connect IP cameras and the uplink, HDMI 1.4 supports 4K, and one USB 3.2 Gen 1 and one USB 2.0 port handle peripherals. An 8-channel DI/DO connects sensors, barriers and alarms. Storage is an M.2 Key B 2242 SATA SSD, an M.2 Key E 2230 slot takes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and an M.2 Key B 3052 slot with a SIM socket takes a 5G module, served by four SMA antenna connectors.

The two models differ only in the heatsink, which sets the thermal headroom. The RSC101-J6413-H uses the high heatsink, measures 150 x 111 x 71.7 mm, weighs 1.5 kg and runs from -10 to 70 °C, which suits warm cabinets and sun-loaded enclosures. The RSC101-J6413-S uses the standard heatsink at 49.4 mm tall and 1.0 kg, running from -10 to 60 °C, for indoor or shaded sites where height is tight.

Both RSC101 AI edge computers run fanless on a 12 to 24 V DC input, with 3 Grms vibration endurance, CE and FCC Class A marking and Linux support. Their size suits ceiling voids, kiosks, retail shelving and roadside boxes, where a dedicated accelerator gives steady inference per watt without the heat of a larger system. Because the I/O, memory and storage are identical across both models, the choice comes down to the enclosure: measure the space and the likely internal temperature, then pick the heatsink that fits. Software, models and accessories carry across unchanged, so a mixed estate of the two builds stays simple to support.
