BIOSTAR releases its dual-track edge computing solution, EdgeComp, targeting IoT and edge AI applications.

Product News

Taipei, Taiwan, January 2026 — BIOSTAR, a leading brand of industrial PCs, edge AI computing, motherboards, and peripherals, today announced the official launch of its "dual-track" edge computing strategy for its EdgeComp industrial PC product line to meet the evolving market demands of Internet of Things (IoT) and edge AI applications.

As edge computing is rapidly adopted in industrial automation, smart infrastructure, and smart systems, market demand is becoming increasingly segmented. IoT applications prioritize miniaturization, low power consumption, and long-term stability; while edge AI applications demand higher computing performance and real-time processing capabilities. Recognizing these distinct application characteristics, BIOSTAR has formally positioned its EdgeComp product line with a clear dual-track strategy, assisting system integrators and solution providers in more efficiently implementing the most suitable platform based on application needs.

Under this strategic architecture, BIOSTAR divides its EdgeComp products into two solution routes: the EdgeComp MU-N150 is positioned as an efficiency-centric platform optimized for edge computing and IoT environments, while the EdgeComp MS-NANO targets high-computation edge AI workloads, covering applications such as AI vision and smart automation.

The EdgeComp MU-N150 is designed for distributed IoT applications, featuring a compact form factor and high energy efficiency, making it an energy-saving and stable edge computing solution. Powered by an Intel® Twin Lake N150 quad-core processor, the fanless design delivers reliable performance at ultra-low power consumption, making it particularly suitable for space-constrained industrial environments requiring continuous operation. The MU-N150 supports three 4K display outputs via HDMI®, DisplayPort, and USB-C, and provides dual 2.5GbE LAN connectivity, meeting the flexibility required for digital signage, smart retail systems, environmental monitoring, and other IoT-driven edge applications. Furthermore, broad operating system support facilitates seamless integration with diverse embedded platforms.

As the core of BIOSTAR's performance-oriented roadmap, the EdgeComp MS-NANO is designed specifically for the growing AI computing needs at the edge. Built on the NVIDIA® Jetson Orin® Nano module, the EdgeComp MS-NANO delivers scalable AI computing performance, supporting real-time inference, AI vision, and high-data-volume workloads. Designed for demanding environments, the MS-NANO supports mainstream AI frameworks and provides industrial-grade I/O interfaces, including CAN bus and multiple sequence interfaces, enabling seamless integration into automation systems, robotic platforms, and smart infrastructure.

It also offers flexible expansion options, supporting wireless and mobile connectivity, further enhancing its adaptability to edge AI applications in industrial and smart city scenarios.

By clearly defining these two complementary solution paths, BIOSTAR's dual-track EdgeComp strategy simplifies system design decisions and achieves an optimal balance of performance, efficiency, and scalability across diverse edge computing applications. This strategy also demonstrates BIOSTAR's continued commitment to building reliable, application-oriented industrial platforms that closely meet real-world implementation needs.

BIOSTAR will showcase its complete EdgeComp solution at Embedded World Nuremberg, Germany 2026. Attendees are cordially invited to visit Hall 3, Booth 3-456, to learn more about BIOSTAR's latest industrial systems and how its edge computing technology can help global industrial applications move towards a smarter, faster, and more efficient future.
