Real-Time Decisions at the Phygital Edge

In the world of Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS), visibility is everything. Organizations need to know where their assets are, when they moved, and how that data can support faster business decisions.

The CS-EDGE Advance Linux Edge Gateway (ALxEG) makes this possible by processing data closer to where it is captured — reducing latency, improving system performance, and turning raw location data into actionable intelligence.

Why CS-EDGE Makes RTLS Smarter

Intelligence at the Edge

By integrating RFID-AI™, CS-EDGE enables advanced distributed processing where the data is captured, helping deliver faster insights while reducing reliance on centralized servers.

Built for Speed and Security

Powered by the Qualcomm 6490 platform and supported by Foundries CI/CD OTA services, CS-EDGE delivers high-performance computing with secure, over-the-air updates.

Simplified Integration

With the RFC-OS Antenna Control Module and an Advanced Use-Case API Library, CS-EDGE integrates directly with ERP, WMS, MES, and other enterprise systems.

Flexible Deployment

Whether you need a standard setup, secure air-gapped environment, or standalone Linux server deployment, CS-EDGE is built to fit your operational requirements.

Complete Asset Visibility

Working with CS Smart Antennas, CS-EDGE captures the “What, Where, and When” of tagged assets and transforms that data into business intelligence.

Edge-Ready Performance

Designed for real-world RTLS environments, CS-EDGE supports fast deployment, localized control, and reliable processing at the edge.
