ATC 8120: Powering AI-Driven Telematics for the Next Generation of Public Safety

The marriage of AI and law enforcement has often been a contentious issue worldwide. While policymakers weigh the legal and ethical implications of artificial intelligence, its potential to enhance public safety through faster analysis, broader situational awareness, and improved operational efficiency is undeniable. To realize these benefits, however, agencies need vehicle systems powerful enough to process data-intensive AI workloads while maintaining reliability in unpredictable field conditions. NEXCOM answers this call with its latest edge AI telematics solution – the ATC 8120.

Next-level performance for AI at the edge

Building on the success of the ATC 8110, the new ATC 8120 represents a major leap forward in AI-driven vehicle computing. Designed for the rigors of mobile and mission-critical environments, it integrates the latest Intel^® Core™ Series 2 processor and supports up to a 600W discrete NVIDIA^® RTX™ GPU. This powerful combination delivers exceptional computing performance for real-time deep learning inference, computer vision, and video analytics, enabling faster, more accurate decision-making on the move.

Law enforcement vehicles can perform a wide range of AI tasks directly at the edge – without relying on the cloud – such as:

• Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR/ANPR): Deploy IP cameras via PoE ports to automatically scan license plates and cross-reference them with databases, alerting officers and intercepting suspicious vehicles in real time.
• Object and Activity Detection: Leverage computer vision to identify specific objects or behaviors in live video feeds, flagging potential threats or violations during large-scale events such as demonstrations or public gatherings.
• Navigation and Resource Optimization: Utilize AI analytics to evaluate traffic patterns, incident data, and vehicle locations, providing officers with optimal routing to emergency sites and improving overall resource coordination.

Expanded storage and scalable architecture

To meet the data-intensive demands of modern AI workloads, the ATC 8120 introduces significantly expanded storage and modular scalability. It accommodates four removable 2.5-inch SATA SSDs with RAID 0/1/5/10 configurations for secure and redundant data management, complemented by an ultra-speed M.2 Key M NVMe SSD for lightning-fast read/write operations. Together, these deliver both high capacity and throughput, ideal for continuous video recording and data logging in surveillance vehicles.

The system also supports up to four PCIe 5.0/4.0 slots for flexible integration of additional GPUs or custom I/O cards. With dual M.2 Key B slots for LTE/5G NR modules and one M.2 Key E for Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, the ATC 8120 stands out as a truly futuristic telematics platform that grows with evolving field requirements.

Ruggedized design for mission-critical reliability

Engineered for demanding in-vehicle operations, the ATC 8120 meets MIL-STD-810H standards for shock and vibration resistance and operates reliably across a wide temperature range of -40°C to 70°C. Power management features such as ignition control, overcurrent, and undervoltage protection ensure dependable startup and sustained operation under all conditions. Whether deployed in patrol fleets, emergency vehicles, or surveillance units, the ATC 8120 maintains stable, consistent performance in every mission.

Driving the future of AI-enabled enforcement

As AI becomes increasingly intertwined with public safety, the ATC 8120 provides law enforcement agencies with the high-performance platform they need to make faster, data-driven decisions in the field. By combining powerful AI computing with extensive storage and expansion flexibility, NEXCOM’s ATC 8120 redefines what’s possible in edge telematics — empowering safer, smarter, and better-connected law enforcement operations.
