APQ E7 Pro Series: Powering Smart Cities with Vehicle-Road Collaboration at its Core

Amid the surging tide of intelligent transportation and digital transformation across industries, a core controller with powerful performance, extreme environmental adaptability, and cross-scenario flexibility becomes the key to overcoming efficiency bottlenecks. Designed around the needs of vehicle-road collaboration, the APQ E7 Pro Series provides robust computing power for applications in industrial automation, smart manufacturing, and smart cities. It achieves a perfect blend of precise adaptation and broad compatibility through multi-dimensional advantages.

01. Core Performance: Computing Power for Vehicle-Road and Industrial Scenarios

Vehicle-road collaboration requires real-time processing of massive data from LiDARs and 8K cameras. E7 Pro is engineered for this challenge with top-tier configurations:

  • Full CPU Generation Support: Compatible with Intel® 6th/7th/8th/9th/12th/13th Gen Core™, Pentium®, and Celeron® desktop CPUs (TDP 65W). The 12th/13th Gen platforms support edge AI inference and vehicle-road data fusion, while the 6th–9th Gen platforms offer upgrade paths for legacy systems—balancing innovation and compatibility.

  • High-Speed, High-Capacity Memory: Equipped with dual DDR4 SO-DIMM slots supporting up to 32GB per module (64GB total), with memory frequencies up to 3200MHz. This ensures smooth parallel processing for both roadside data and industrial production lines.

02. Storage & Expansion: Flexible Integration Across Roadside and Industrial Scenarios

To support diverse connections in vehicle-road environments, E7 Pro breaks through connectivity limitations and enables multi-industry expansion:

  • Hot-Swap Storage & Data Protection:
    Features 3 × 2.5" hot-swappable HDD bays (supports drives under 7mm) + 1 × M.2 slot (compatible with NVMe/SATA SSDs). Maintenance is tool-free, accelerating roadside service and workshop repairs.
    Supports RAID 0/1/5:

    • RAID 0 boosts roadside video write speed

    • RAID 1 ensures data mirroring and reliability

    • RAID 5 balances performance and redundancy

  • Comprehensive Expansion:
    Offers versatile PCIe configurations:

    • 2 × PCIe x16 (x8/x8) + 2 × PCI, or

    • 1 × PCIe x16 (x16) + 1 × PCIe x4 (x4),
      allowing flexible setup for high-power (≤450W), long-form (≤320mm) GPUs or expansion cards.
      This supports both vehicle-side visual processing and industrial machine vision modules.

  • aDoor Modular I/O:
    Supports optional 4-LAN / 4-POE / 6-COM expansion modules, enabling direct connection to POE cameras or sensors—streamlining deployment and cabling.

03. Reliable Operation: Engineered for Harsh Roadside and Industrial Environments

E7 Pro is designed with industrial-grade durability to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, as well as the demanding environments of various industries:

  • High-Efficiency Cooling + Silent Operation:
    Features a hybrid passive heat sink (fanless with heat pipes and fin stacks) + intelligent fan system, enabling stable cooling of 65W CPUs under sustained high loads.
    Ideal for unattended roadside deployment (silent) or quiet factory environments.

  • Dual Reliability for GPU & Power Supply:
    Fixed GPU brackets enhance shock resistance for stable high-definition video streaming and visual inspection tasks.
    Optional high-reliability wide-voltage power supplies (600W / 800W / 1000W) ensure uninterrupted 24/7 operation in fluctuating outdoor or industrial power conditions.

04. Maintenance & Versatile Adaptation: Tailored for Multi-Scenario Deployment

  • User-Friendly Design:
    Tool-free fan removal and hot-swappable HDDs greatly reduce maintenance time.
    Replaceable orange aluminum trim balances durability for outdoor deployment with a modern industrial aesthetic.

  • Cross-Industry Applicability:

    • Vehicle-Road Collaboration:
      Supports 4G/5G/Wi-Fi communication, connects with roadside equipment, and endures wide temperature (-20~60℃) and vibration challenges.

    • Industrial Automation:
      Stable processing and rich serial ports support real-time control and device monitoring.

    • Smart Manufacturing:
      High-power GPU compatibility and large memory capacity support machine vision inspection and edge AI analytics.

    • Smart City Applications:
      Multiple Ethernet ports and wireless expansion options enable real-time data uploads from city surveillance and environmental monitoring devices.
