Notable Quote:
"Any engineer or technically minded person should have access to the building blocks of a modern smartphone, but that's not the case right now. 5G connectivity and AI accelerators are limited today because they’re not democratized; only a few large players have access to the bleeding-edge technology that will power the next wave of connected devices."
Our Take:
Particle's introduction of Tachyon marks a significant advancement in democratizing access to high-performance computing and AI capabilities. This Qualcomm® Snapdragon™-powered SBC not only brings the power of modern smartphones to the masses but also addresses the growing demand for AI-enabled edge solutions in today's technology landscape. With robust connectivity options and a modular design, Tachyon is set to empower a wide range of applications, from personal projects to large-scale commercial deployments, further solidifying Particle's position as a leader in the IoT space.
