.. _gateway-m-rpi5-specification: ====================================================== Edge IoT Gateway M RPI5 Specification ====================================================== Datasheet. Release 1.0 Overview ======== Pervasive computing systems are capable of collecting, processing, and communicating data. They can adapt to the context and activity of the data. In essence, this means a network that can understand its surroundings and improve the human experience and quality of life. CTHINGS.CO® Edge IoT Gateway (M RPI5) securely connects and processes the data required by the customer directly at the edge, reducing latency and relieving connectivity networks, with full support for **Orchestra Platform and OrchestraOS**. Powered by the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5, the CTHINGS.CO® Edge IoT Gateway (M RPI5) is a high-performance Linux-based platform designed for industrial edge computing. Its rugged, fanless design ensures reliable 24/7 operation in demanding environments, supporting temperatures from -40 °C to +80 °C. Optional Hailo-8L AI acceleration enables real-time AI inference directly at the edge, reducing latency and cloud dependency while supporting intelligent, data-driven decision-making. To simplify the deployment of use cases and solutions, CTHINGS.CO® Edge IoT Gateway (M RPI5) is designed alongside **CTHINGS.CO® Orchestra**, a state-of-the-art networking solution that makes provisioning and maintenance of private networks as simple as a few clicks. Additionally, the platform supports curated backend systems, including open APIs for connecting external systems, as well as data visualization capabilities through supported interfaces and protocols.
