Meeting the Demands of Next-Gen Surveillance with AI and Private 5G Networks

As Industry 4.0 continues to drive digital transformation across industrial and public sectors, the need for intelligent surveillance, real-time data processing, and secure communications is growing rapidly. From logistics hubs and smart factories to large public venues and secure facilities, organizations are seeking innovative solutions to enhance safety, boost operational efficiency, and minimize manual oversight.

At Automation Taipei 2025, Portwell and Gemtek Technology—leaders in embedded computing and wireless broadband, respectively—will debut a collaborative, future-ready surveillance solution that integrates Edge AI with private 5G networks. This integrated approach enables ultra-low latency video analytics, intelligent tracking, and responsive automation in near-real time, addressing the evolving demands of high-performance environments.

Powerful Collaboration Enabling Intelligent Surveillance from Edge to Air

Portwell and Gemtek’s joint solution, which will be unveiled at Automation Taipei 2025, combines AI-driven edge computing with advanced 5G wireless communication to deliver a dynamic, intelligent surveillance system. The solution features a drone equipped with dual IP cameras and a gimbal, supported by 5G Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) and private Wi-Fi infrastructure to enable seamless video capture, analysis, and real-time decision-making. Gemtek’s 5G backbone ensures stable, high-speed transmission of live video feeds, while Portwell’s edge AI system enables instant person identification, alerting, and target tracking. Together, these technologies support automated patrolling, intruder detection, and smart facility management—bridging the gap between mobility, connectivity, and intelligence to meet the evolving demands of modern security environments.

Gemtek: Wireless Expertise Empowering Real-Time Communication

With over three decades of experience and expertise in wireless innovation, Gemtek is a global leader in broadband and wireless communication technologies. Its all-in-one 5G Total Solution architecture includes small cell base stations and Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) systems, designed to enhance network coverage and performance in both indoor and outdoor environments. Gemtek’s 5G Small Cell delivers stable connectivity, ultra-low latency, and fiber-like broadband speeds. These lightweight, easy-to-deploy units reduce infrastructure costs and eliminate the need for expensive Evolved Packet Core (EPC) and Home Subscriber Server (HSS) components—making them ideal for both telecom operators and private enterprise networks. In this joint surveillance solution, Gemtek’s 5G system will serve as the backbone for reliable video and command transmission, enabling uninterrupted, real-time surveillance across large and complex environments.

Accelerating Edge Intelligence with Portwell AI Computing Platform

At the core of the joint surveillance solution is Portwell’s robust PJAI-100 edge computing system, powered by the NVIDIA® Jetson Orin™ NX or Jetson Orin Nano™ module. Delivering up to 100 TOPS of AI performance, the PJAI-100 systems series enables real-time video analytics such as facial recognition and target tracking directly at the edge. Designed for demanding environments, the fanless PJAI-100 features dual Gigabit LAN, multiple USB 3.2 ports, M.2 expansion slots for Wi-Fi/5G, and a wide operating temperature range of -20°C to 60°C. Its compact form factor allows for easy deployment in field installations or mobile surveillance units such as drones. By enabling rapid AI inference without relying on cloud computing, Portwell’s edge platform minimizes latency, enhances data privacy, and ensures intelligent, autonomous response in real time.

Synergizing AI and 5G to Transform Intelligent Surveillance Across Industries

Combining Gemtek’s advanced 5G Total Solution with Portwell’s optimized Edge AI platform, this synergistic collaboration redefines real-time surveillance and monitoring across industries. The integrated drone and fixed camera system will be capable of identifying and tracking targets based on predefined images or operator commands via an intuitive user interface. It will autonomously monitor restricted zones, provide VIP escort capabilities, and detect intrusions—making it ideal for government facilities, transportation hubs, and high-security sites. In manufacturing environments, it will enhance safety compliance by ensuring only authorized personnel access hazardous areas. For commercial buildings and event venues, it will streamline visitor management and enable rapid incident alerting. This synergy of mobility, AI, and ultra-reliable communication offers unmatched versatility for smart security, logistics, public safety, and industrial monitoring applications.

Pioneering the Future of AI-Driven Surveillance with Industry 4.0 Commitment

This collaboration between Portwell and Gemtek exemplifies how strategic partnerships can drive innovation in intelligent automation and surveillance. By integrating Edge AI and 5G technologies, the two companies are not only addressing today’s industry challenges but also laying the foundation for smarter, safer, and more responsive infrastructure.

Their joint presence at Automation Taipei 2025 underscores a shared commitment to the principles of Industry 4.0—where intelligent systems, autonomous monitoring, and seamless connectivity are transforming how industrial and public operations are managed. Together, Portwell and Gemtek are delivering scalable, real-world-ready solutions to meet tomorrow’s smarter security and operational challenges—starting today.
