AAEON Announces Development of BOXER-8742AI Based on NVIDIA Jetson T4000

Following CES 2026, AAEON has announced its development plans for the BOXER-8742AI, an upcoming embedded AI box PC built on the newly introduced NVIDIA Jetson T4000 module. The system represents AAEON’s first platform designed around the Jetson T4000 and is targeted at high-performance edge AI deployments across multiple industries.

The BOXER-8742AI is being developed as a fanless embedded AI system, engineered to support production-ready AI workloads, real-time processing and multi-sensor applications. Powered by NVIDIA’s Blackwell architecture, the Jetson T4000 module delivers a significant leap in AI performance, offering up to four times higher AI compute alongside improved energy efficiency and real-time reasoning capabilities.

Despite its compact footprint — measuring approximately 210mm × 164.2mm × 74mm — the BOXER-8742AI is designed to support demanding edge AI use cases. These include applications such as smart factory automation, autonomous mobile robots (AMR) and AI-enabled roadside infrastructure, where low latency and high-throughput sensor processing are critical.

From an I/O and connectivity perspective, the BOXER-8742AI is expected to feature a robust set of interfaces suited to complex industrial environments. Planned connectivity includes four RJ-45 LAN ports with PoE support, an additional 5GbE RJ-45 port, and a selection of DB-9 and DB-15 interfaces supporting CANBus, DIO and RS-232/422/485 protocols. The system will also offer four USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, enabling high-bandwidth data transfer from multiple synchronised vision sensors.

According to AAEON, the BOXER-8742AI is scheduled for availability in Q2 2026. At this stage, the platform is positioned as an announcement-stage product, with specifications and configurations subject to final validation as development progresses.

At ETE, we closely monitor new embedded and edge AI platforms announced by our technology partners in order to support early evaluation, solution planning and technical discussions. As further details on the BOXER-8742AI become available, we will continue to share updates and guidance relevant to local projects and deployments.

Intelli i14 Edge: A New Era for Industrial Computers in Australia

The future of industrial computers has just arrived, and it comes in a form factor you might not expect. The new Intelli i14 Edge from AAEON brings workstation-level performance into a compact, rugged, and fanless design  a breakthrough that changes what’s possible at the edge.

At Embedded Technologies, we’re proud to launch the Intelli i14 Edge to the Australian market. More than just another box PC, this is a next-generation industrial computer that combines 14th Gen Intel® Core™ CPUs with NVIDIA RTX™ GPUs in a design small enough for mobile and industrial deployments, yet tough enough to survive them.

Performance Without Compromise

What makes the Intelli i14 Edge different is simple: it delivers both CPU and GPU power in one compact, reliable unit. At its core sits the Intel® Core™ i9 14900T, a 24-core, 32-thread processor capable of managing everything from real-time navigation and robotics control to heavy data logging and analysis.

Alongside this CPU, the Intelli i14 Edge integrates NVIDIA RTX™ MXM GPUs — the A2000 or A4500. With up to 5,888 CUDA cores and 184 Tensor cores built on the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, this industrial computer provides the horsepower needed for demanding AI workloads such as LiDAR fusion, computer vision, and sensor data processing. Unlike bulky PCIe GPUs, the MXM module ensures long lifecycle support and rugged reliability, all while fitting into the Intelli i14’s remarkably small footprint.

Rugged Design for Real-World Demands

Performance means little without reliability. That’s why the Intelli i14 Edge is built with a fanless, dust-free cooling system and an enclosure tested against IEC EN60068-2-64 vibration standards. Whether installed in an autonomous vehicle, deployed in defence operations, or integrated into industrial robotics, this industrial computer is engineered to operate continuously in environments where traditional PCs simply can’t survive.

Compact, Connected, and Ready for AI

Despite its small 205 × 190 × 70 mm design, the Intelli i14 Edge is rich in connectivity. With five USB 3.2 ports, dual LAN ports, and dual NVMe storage slots, it integrates seamlessly with the sensors, cameras, LiDAR, and industrial I/O hubs required in today’s AI-driven applications. From healthcare diagnostics to fleet management and smart mobility, this industrial computer adapts effortlessly across industries.

Why It Stands Out

The Intelli i14 Edge sets itself apart by bringing together what was previously separated: high-performance CPUs and professional-grade GPUs, all in a compact, rugged, fanless system. It’s this unique combination that makes it a true differentiator in the world of industrial computers, giving Australian industries the power to prototype, deploy, and scale advanced AI solutions faster than ever.

At Embedded Technologies, we’re excited to make the Intelli i14 Edge available locally — continuing our mission to deliver rugged, reliable industrial computing solutions that help businesses push boundaries.
