IRVINE, Calif., March 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lantronix Inc. (NASDAQ:LTRX), a global provider of Edge AI and Industrial IoT solutions that power NDAA-compliant unmanned systems, critical infrastructure and resilient enterprise networks, today announced it will showcase its latest intelligent switching and edge computing platforms at ISC West, held March 25–27 in Las Vegas, at booth 34073. Demonstrations will feature its new SmartSwitch.ai platform, SmartEdge gateways and its industry‑leading Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches and media converters, including solutions from Transition Networks, now part of Lantronix.

ISC West 2026 Highlights

At ISC West, Lantronix will spotlight an integrated Edge AI platform that fuses SmartSwitch.ai, SmartEdge gateways and PoE solutions to unlock new growth across intelligent security, traffic and industrial automation markets. Live, mission‑ready use cases will show customers and partners how existing cameras, sensors and control systems can be quickly connected, powered and autonomously managed at the edge, reducing deployment friction today while scaling to the next wave of AI‑driven services and recurring revenue tomorrow.

SmartSwitch.ai Intelligent Network Control

Lantronix's SmartSwitch.ai delivers Edge AI across new and existing Lantronix PoE infrastructure, combining agentic network management and autonomous control while utilizing syslog server data and real‑time analytics from existing IP devices across the network, including cameras and sensors. With SmartSwitch.ai installers, IT teams can interact with the Lantronix virtual agent, Lance, in plain English to configure IP networks, diagnose network issues, monitor, predict and optimize the performance of PoE networks. Native to fielded Lantronix PoE networks, SmartSwitch.ai can be added as an aggregation device, enabling Edge AI while keeping the existing PoE network and IP devices, such as cameras, in place.

SmartEdge Gateways for Edge AI

Lantronix's SmartEdge gateways bring next‑generation Edge AI and analytics to existing cameras, sensors and industrial systems without requiring a rip‑and‑replace of deployed hardware. By adding secure compute, protocol translation and local AI processing at the edge, SmartEdge gateways enable real‑time detection, situational awareness and insights for defense, industrial and commercial environments.

Leading PoE Switch and Media Converter Platform

Lantronix will showcase its comprehensive PoE platform that powers and connects critical security, transportation and industrial assets at the edge, all while reducing installation and operating costs and simplifying installation needs. This portfolio includes commercial, hardened, PoE+ to PoE++ and Layer 3 options, including device management. With ease-of-use through an intuitive GUI expanded by SmartSwitch.ai, this platform is now fully integrated into the Lantronix product family, increasing time-to-service.

Edge AI and Aerial Intelligence Demos

Complementing SmartSwitch.ai and SmartEdge, Lantronix will also show advanced Edge AI use cases, including FLIR thermal/RGB fusion integrated with Open‑Q 8550 drone intelligence and low-latency edge processing. Additional demos will highlight its EdgeFabric.ai visual AI orchestration tool, which simplifies model deployment across Lantronix's Open-Q platforms for scalable security and industrial AI applications.
