Kontron, a leading global provider of IoT/Embedded Computer Technology (ECT), announced a strategic partnership with EIZO Rugged Solutions Inc., an expert in ruggedized embedded graphics processing, AI compute, and video solutions. Through this collaboration, Kontron is expanding its VPX portfolio by adding EIZO’s GPU technology, powered by NVIDIA® GPU chipsets, giving system integrators access to fully validated CPU/GPU platforms built for demanding missions.
This partnership reinforces Kontron’s position as a single-source provider for VPX systems by broadening its portfolio with EIZO’s proven GPU technology. By integrating computing and graphics acceleration at the system level, Kontron and EIZO help system integrators reduce development complexity, accelerate deployment, and ensure rugged reliability with long lifecycle support.
At the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting 2025, Kontron and EIZO will demonstrate the interoperability of their technologies in a complete VPX environment. The live demo will leverage Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) to highlight synchronized, low-latency data exchange a capability critical for AI-driven threat detection, situational awareness, and real-time decision-making at the tactical edge.
