Antillion, a developer of edge computing solutions for mission-critical defense, first responder, and security applications, details its Pace AIR systems, which are designed to deliver data center-level performance in a portable form factor for edge deployment. Read more >>
The increasing volume of data has created a growing requirement to process and analyze information closer to where it is generated. Pace AIR systems were developed to address this need, enabling high-performance computing outside of traditional data center environments.
Inspired by the rugged Frontier range, the AIR platforms incorporate features typically associated with more ruggedized systems, without increasing size, weight, or reducing usability. To support operation in demanding conditions, the systems include vibration dampening technology that protects internal components and supports consistent performance across deployment scenarios.
Optimized Performance in Edge Environments
Maintaining appropriate operating temperatures remains a key challenge for edge computing systems. Pace AIR platforms address this through airflow management that dynamically adjusts fan speeds based on ambient conditions and system requirements. This approach supports sustained performance while managing power consumption, allowing the systems to operate effectively outside controlled environments.
Pace AIR systems are designed to deliver high-performance capabilities through configurations that include commercially available, off-the-shelf components from established industry suppliers. These configurations support fast processing cores as well as high-speed, high-capacity storage. The use of COTS components also ensures that parts are readily available for maintenance and future upgrades.

Configurable Architecture for Deployment Flexibility
Flexibility is a central aspect of the Pace AIR ecosystem. The hardware can be configured to align with specific operational requirements, enabling system architects to define capabilities based on mission needs. This includes the ability to expand storage or integrate additional networking functionality as required.
Pace AIR systems combine the performance characteristics of data center infrastructure with the portability and adaptability required for edge applications. The platform supports deployments that require both compute power and storage capacity, providing a solution suited to a range of operational environments.
