Introducing the i3-Edge

Reducing Data Costs While Improving Data Availability

Most data acquisition systems are designed with the assumption that data sources will send information directly to a centralized application over the internet. However, in data-rich environments, this direct connection rarely results in an operationally efficient solution.

The i3 Edge Enabler serves as an information multiplexer, combining multiple data streams into a single, logical stream. This approach helps reduce both operational and maintenance costs. It can also significantly lower mobile data service expenses when transmitting data over cellular networks.

Additionally, the i3 Edge Enabler supports custom plugins developed by users. These plugins can analyze video imagery and extract useful situational alerts from raw data.

The system also includes a local access point, allowing users to view and use data locally—eliminating the delays and costs associated with sending data to a centralized server and back.

With the i3 Edge Enabler, i3 Systems offers a powerful solution for improving how data is generated, managed, and consumed across distributed environments.

Key Features:

• Reformatting/restructuring of data streams to meet organizational standards
• Support for plugin AI modules to create organization specific data streams
• Deployable in fixed or mobile environments (e.g. truck or bus installation)
• Integrated support for unstructured video streams and message based data flows
• Data integration and consolidation to reduce networking costs
• Designed as a data appliance capable working independently or with the i3 Core data fabric
• Supports remote monitoring and management
