Vecow AIC-200 Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ-615 Industrial IoT Gateways with 5G Slot, Dual GbE and Wide Temperature

Gateways used to be simple protocol converters, but many projects now ask them to run local logic, analytics and a cellular link as well, which a single-core gateway can struggle with. The Vecow AIC-200 series is a family of fanless industrial IoT gateways on the Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ-615, an eight-core Arm processor, sized for smart building, energy and roadside jobs where the gateway does real work at the edge. Vecow lists smart building, energy management and V2X collaboration among its applications.

Both AIC-200 models share one design. The IQ-615 has two Kryo cores at 1.9 GHz and six efficiency cores at 1.6 GHz, with 8 GB of LPDDR4x on board, and the gateways run a Yocto-based Linux. I/O covers two Gigabit Ethernet ports, two USB 3.0 ports, two RS-232/485 serial ports on terminal blocks and one HDMI 1.4 output for a local screen. An M.2 Key B 3052 socket with a nano SIM takes an optional 5G or 4G LTE module, and an M.2 Key E 2230 socket takes an optional Wi-Fi and Bluetooth card. A micro SD socket takes SDHC cards up to 128 GB, and a watchdog timer restarts the gateway if the software stops responding. The case has five antenna cutouts and buttons for power, reset and recovery.

The two models differ only in storage. The AIC-200-UFS-128GB carries 128 GB of UFS, which suits gateways that log data locally or run several applications side by side. The AIC-200-eMMC-64GB carries 64 GB of eMMC, for gateways focused on collecting, converting and forwarding data, where local capacity matters less. Both share the same I/O, so wiring and software stay the same across the two.

In practice the AIC-200 series suits smart buildings, energy management systems, EV and roadside infrastructure and rail-side cabinets. Every model runs fanless from -30 °C to 70 °C on 9 to 50 V DC, with shock and vibration tested to IEC 60068-2-27 and IEC 60068-2-64, CE and FCC marks, and a design to EN 50155 and EN 50121-3-2 requirements. Vecow supplies a wall-mount bracket, with a DIN rail kit as an option for cabinet installs, and lists 12 V and 24 V power adapters as accessories.
