IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 2, 2025 – Lantronix Inc. (NASDAQ: LTRX), a global leader in compute and connectivity IoT solutions powering Edge AI applications, today announced it has won a 2025 IoT Edge Computing Excellence Award from IoT Evolution World. The award highlights Lantronix’s expanding momentum in delivering AI-enabled edge solutions that support real-time data processing, reduced latency and decentralized decision-making across high-growth verticals.

“Lantronix demonstrates the forward-thinking innovation that is shaping the next era of edge computing with the proven capability to deliver real-world edge solutions that unlock new levels of efficiency, intelligence and responsiveness,” said Carl Ford, community developer at IoT Evolution World.

Strategic Market Positioning

With enterprise architectures rapidly shifting from cloud-centric to distributed intelligence, edge computing is entering a phase of accelerated adoption. According to Gartner, approximately 75 percent of enterprise-generated data will be processed at the edge by 2025, underscoring the strong secular tailwinds fueling Lantronix’s growth strategy.

Lantronix’s AI-at-the-edge solutions are gaining traction across multiple high-value markets, including:

• Defense & UAVs – powering advanced autonomy and sensor optimization in unmanned aerial systems, including support for the U.S. Army’s Short-Range Reconnaissance (SRR) drone program through collaboration with Teal Drones, a Red Cat Holdings company, for production of its Black Widow™ drones.
• Smart Cities & Critical Infrastructure – enabling remote management and diagnostic intelligence for power and communications assets through ruggedized edge boxes deployed with a leading global mobile network operator.
• Security & Surveillance – reducing bandwidth costs and enhancing real-time situational awareness with intelligent event detection and on-device analytics.

Ecosystem Acceleration

Lantronix is strengthening its competitive position through deep technical and commercial relationships with Qualcomm® Technologies, Teledyne FLIR OEM, Gremsy and Aerora, enabling highly integrated, drone-ready and vision-enhanced solutions for defense, industrial, automation and infrastructure markets.
