With secure, high-performance capabilities and support for state-of-the-art CAN connectivity, the Kvaser Edge brings intelligence closer to the data source.
Extreme durability
Reliable performance in heat, moisture, and dust.
Secure by design
Protects your data in a contained environment, preventing system-wide risks.
Your environment, your way
Run any Linux distro and apps in a fully isolated customizable setup.
Bring intelligence closer to your devices
Kvaser Edge securely connects devices to the cloud through Wi-Fi 6 and Gigabit Ethernet, enabling instant data processing, smart caching and seamless machine-to-machine communication. Reduce latency, optimize bandwidth and bring smarter decision-making closer to where the data is created.
You maintain full control of your data, protecting both collected information and your intellectual property. This makes Kvaser Edge ideal for proof-of-concept testing or scalable production rollouts.
Built for security and tough environments
Trusted security
At the core is a powerful ARM-based Linux computer with Secure Element technology (NXP SE051C2), preventing unauthorized firmware installations and establishing a strong foundation for future security enhancements.
Kvaser Edge meets the requirements of Cyber Resistance Act (CRA) and Radio Equipment Directive (RED).

Rugged for demanding data acquisition
With an IP67 rating, Kvaser Edge is sealed against dust, resistant to water and proved to withstand extreme temperature changes. Kvaser Edge features individually galvanically isolated CAN-FD channels and a Kvaser CAN-IP implemented in FPGA, providing robust and reliable communication in demanding environments.
The result is dependable computing power at the edge – ready to deliver insights wherever the work takes you.
Kvaser Edge OS (KEOS) and containerization
KEOS is Kvaser Edge’s integrated operating system. Based on Linux, it is designed for software integration and gives you the freedom to choose the distribution that best fits your needs — Ubuntu, Debian, Amazon Linux, and more. With integrated container technology, KEOS lets you create a secure isolated user environment for your preferred applications.

Integrated storage, sensors and connectivity
High-capacity storage and flexible USB connectivity
Kvaser Edge comes equipped with 256 GB eMMC storage, reliably handling large-scale data for demanding applications. Store extensive CAN data locally without the need for external systems.
With USB support, you can connect peripherals for external storage and use audio and video devices, enabling you to capture synchronized recordings alongside CAN data for testing, diagnostics and validation.
Advanced sensor integration for system insight
Aside from CAN and USB, Kvaser Edge also features built-in sensors that bring motion, location and external signals together in one platform. Its 6-axis IMU provides precise acceleration, rotation and orientation data for accurate motion analysis, while GPS/GNSS tracks exact position and speed, allowing seamless mapping alongside CAN data. With versatile digital I/O, it easily interfaces with external signals for custom triggers.
