From silicon to system-level innovation for mission-critical applications
In industrial IoT and edge computing deployments, three persistent challenges dominate: extreme temperatures, electromagnetic interference, and power constraints. Qualcomm’s IPQ5322 platform, paired with Wallys’ DR5322 router board, delivers a systematic solution engineered for reliability in the world’s harshest operating environments.
1. Military-Grade Ruggedization
- Full operational stability from -40°C to 85°C: Utilizes aerospace-grade packaging and adaptive power management to maintain 99.99% uptime in Arctic oilfields and smelting facilities
- Vibration/Shock resistance: Complies with IEC 60068-2 standards for mining vehicles and offshore rigs (up to 5Grms random vibration)
- 15-year lifecycle: Industrial-grade components ensure decade-long service in continuous operation
2. Wi-Fi 7 with Intelligent Multi-Link Operation
Revolutionizing industrial wireless with:
- Tri-band aggregation (2.4+5+6 GHz) : Achieves 4.2× throughput gains in RF-challenged environments like metal warehouses
- Sub-1ms deterministic latency: Enables real-time control of synchronized AGV fleets via interference-avoiding band switching
- AI-Powered Spectrum Sensing: Auto-detects and mitigates 20+ interference types (radar, microwaves, etc.)
3. Application-Optimized Connectivity Matrix
| Use Case | Configuration | Performance |
|---|---|---|
| 4K Video Backhaul | 10G SFP+ + 4x4 MU-MIMO | 8 concurrent streams @ 120fps |
| PLC Control Systems | Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) | Jitter <15μs |
| Edge AI Inference | Dual-core A53 + 1 TOPS NPU | 23ms latency for local models |
4. Zero-Trust Security Architecture
- Hardware Root of Trust: PSA Certified Level 3 against firmware tampering
- Dynamic Crypto Isolation: Physically separates data/control planes via ARM TrustZone
- Micro-Segmentation: Per-hop encryption compliant with NERC CIP standards for grid security
5. Wallys DR5322: System-Level Innovation
