Vanguard AIX

Practical AI at the Edge. Real-Time Autonomy. Built for High-Risk Environments.

The Vanguard AIX is a next-generation edge compute platform engineered to deliver AI, real-time intelligence, and autonomous decision-making in the most challenging operational environments. Vanguard AIX makes AI and large language models (LLMs) practical—pushing capability to the edge where users need it most.

TYTYN Edge AI with VANTIQ real-time monitoring software and AI integration provides a complete AI deployable solution and speeds up decision-making where it matters most.

A joint solution developed by TYTYN and Vantiq, Vanguard AIX combines ruggedized, modular hardware with a battle-ready AI platform that operates even in fully disconnected or low-communications settings. The result: a deployable system that can process data, detect threats, and execute AI-driven logic locally—no cloud fallback required.

It also enables legacy systems to connect via private networks, giving diverse users access to AI in zero-comms environments.

From defence and national security to disaster relief, public safety, and industrial IoT—Vanguard AIX delivers rapid response, informed action, and operational resilience.

Deployed Military AI

Run inference on ISR data, track threats, and support decisions—all from a self-contained unit that doesn’t rely on cloud or SATCOM.

Why Vanguard AIX?

Most “edge AI” systems rely on uplinks, orchestration layers, and cloud fallbacks. Vanguard AIX was designed to operate independently—without compromise.

Integrated AI

Logic at the edge

Dual accelerators

For optimized task load

Modular

Secure, rapidly deployable

Runs online

Or fully offline

Zero-downtime

Hardware upgrades

When time, power, and bandwidth are limited—Vanguard AIX delivers decisions, not just data.

Backed by TYTYN + Vantiq

Together, they power a new class of decision-making infrastructure: autonomous, adaptive, and deployed anywhere.
