Lanner to show AstraEdge at NVIDIA GTC
Lanner announced AstraEdge platforms for GenAI robotics and AI‑RAN, set to debut at NVIDIA GTC 2026 — appliances focused on on‑prem inference, modular networking, and real‑time orchestration reported. The product direction signals cross‑industry convergence on deterministic edge hardware designs that trading datacenters could repurpose for low‑latency AI tasks.
Lanner issued its NVIDIA GTC announcement on March 16, 2026 and lists Booth #132 for the AstraEdge showcase. (lannerinc.com) The ECA-6710 is marketed as an NVIDIA MGX-based edge server that integrates NVIDIA Grace CPU C1, BlueField‑3 DPU and L40S GPU options and supports 256GB LPDDR5 plus multiple PCIe Gen‑5 expansion slots. (lannerinc.com) The ECA‑5555 is a compact AI‑RAN appliance built on the Intel Xeon 6 SoC with up to 512GB DDR5, IEEE‑1588 PTP/SyncE/GNSS timing support and validations for GPUs such as the RTX PRO 6000 SE. (lannerinc.com) At GTC Lanner says it will demo an end‑to‑end workflow that ties GenAI reasoning to physical robotic execution and a digital twin using NVIDIA MGX, Jetson Thor and NVIDIA Isaac Sim. (roboticstomorrow.com) Lanner has been pre‑validating its short‑chassis AstraEdge platforms with Small Language Models through a partnership with Personal AI and has announced networking integration with Arrcus’ ACE software for programmable, low‑latency edge routing. (personal.ai) The AstraEdge family first appeared at MWC 2026 (Hall 5, Booth 5C86) and Lanner previously positioned the ECA‑5555 for general availability in Q2 2025 in earlier product communications.
