Fibocom: Leading the Shift to Edge AI Intelligence

Fibocom, a global leader in IoT and wireless solutions, has unveiled two breakthrough platforms: the AI‑powered Electronic Cash Register (ECR) for smart retail and the T930 Wi‑Fi 8 CPE for 5G‑Advanced home and SMB connectivity. 

Together, these launches mark a decisive step forward in Fibocom’s mission to evolve from a connectivity pioneer into a driving force for edge intelligence and digital transformation.

At the heart of Fibocom’s showcase is its new AI ECR platform powered by MediaTek’s Genio 520/720 chipset. Built for speed, intelligence and flexibility, the solution integrates high‑performance edge AI computing with robust connectivity to help retailers deliver smarter, faster and more immersive in‑store experiences.

Featuring a 6nm octa‑core processor – two ARM Cortex‑A78 cores up to 2.2GHz and six ARM Cortex‑A55 cores up to 2.0GHz – the device balances powerful performance with exceptional energy efficiency. Its integrated NPU 850 achieves up to 10 TOPS of processing power, allowing real‑time AI inference on‑device for tasks such as dynamic pricing, intelligent queue management and personalised recommendations.

By supporting large language models locally through an NPU‑Neon architecture, Fibocom’s AI ECR enables natural voice interactions at checkout, turning staff assistance and inventory queries into smooth conversational experiences. 

On‑device computation ensures faster responsiveness while reducing cloud dependency and tightening data privacy – crucial for modern retail environments.

The 15.6‑inch 2K multi‑touch display delivers vivid, interactive visuals for both staff dashboards and customer engagement, with 2D/3D graphics acceleration for fluid interfaces. Scalable to 4K and even 5K dual‑screen setups, the ECR serves not only as a POS terminal but also as a visual centrepiece for promotions and digital signage.

Connectivity remains a hallmark of Fibocom’s design. With extensive I/O options – including USB‑C, HDMI, RJ45 and eDP – the system integrates effortlessly with printers, scanners and cash drawers. 

Dual‑camera support powers facial payment, loss prevention and behavioural analytics, while Wi‑Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 maintain high‑speed connectivity in busy retail spaces.

Running Android 15, Fibocom’s ECR combines an open, secure ecosystem with industrial‑grade reliability, ready to scale across small stores and large chains alike.

Alongside the retail debut, Fibocom introduced its new flagship 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) platform – the T930 Wi‑Fi 8 CPE. 

Powered by the MediaTek T930 5G‑Advanced module and Filogic 8800 Wi‑Fi 8 chipset, this tri‑band solution delivers seamless, multi‑gigabit performance for intelligent home and SMB networks.

Engineered for dense device environments, the T930 CPE integrates 5G‑A backhaul with next‑generation Wi‑Fi 8 access to guarantee low latency, robust throughput and carrier‑grade reliability. 

Advanced multi‑AP coordination reduces interference by over 40%, while Extended Long‑Range (ELR) and distributed Resource Unit (dRU) technologies extend coverage and wall penetration by up to 40%.

Capable of supporting more than 200 devices simultaneously, the system maintains sub‑millisecond latency even under heavy load – ideal for applications like lag‑free gaming, video calls and live AR/VR streaming. Operating across 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz bands, Fibocom’s tri‑band design ensures unwavering bandwidth for AI workloads, connected appliances and immersive experiences throughout the household or office.

As 5G‑Advanced networks mature and Wi‑Fi 8 adoption accelerates, Fibocom’s T930 Wi‑Fi 8 CPE arrives as a timely solution for operators, ISPs, and OEMs seeking future‑proof connectivity. 

Its integrated architecture creates a seamless path to AI‑ready networking at the edge—bridging homes, businesses, and smart environments under a unified high‑performance standard.

Ralph Zhao, General Manager of Mobile Computing Solutions BU at Fibocom, says: “As the retail industry accelerates toward automation and intelligence, edge AI computing has become the key to improving user experience.

“Fibocom’s new AI ECR solution represents a breakthrough in hardware design and enables large-model applications at the point of sale with 10 TOPS of processing power – empowering partners to build more competitive and intelligent retail solutions.”

CK Wang, Vice President and General Manager of MediaTek IoT, adds: “We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Fibocom, leveraging the MediaTek Genio platform to deliver powerful edge AI performance with on-device large model support. 

“This solution demonstrates our shared commitment to advancing smart retail and helping businesses become more competitive and efficient.”
