What happened and what to do
On November 10, 2025, Waveshare published an article about the CM5-DUAL-ETH-4G/5G-BASE board. It offers 2.5GbE and GbE, optional 4G LTE or 5G connectivity, two HDMI outputs with 4K support, and an M.2 slot for NVMe storage or an AI accelerator. The board is compatible with Raspberry Pi OS.
For a company evaluating edge computing, this combination could support a gateway that connects distinct networks and runs local applications. A project could size the board, configure the operating system, integrate data collection, and monitor connectivity, storage, and operation—without assuming an AI accelerator is needed.
How the consultancy can help
Wendelmaques can diagnose connectivity and processing requirements, define a suitable edge architecture, and scope implementation and operation of data collection, integrations, and monitoring.
