“I wouldn’t hesitate to hire S5* Systems in other Telular project — time and time again S5 team showed that they didn’t just care about their bottom line, but Telular’s continued success. I recommend S5 Systems’ to any company that needs to reduce time-to-market of their products.”

“S5 brings together significant expertise on embedded platforms over a range of domains – Linux, RISC processors and Java VMs. They helped us expand our product offerings on to new platforms while helping improve performance of the virtual machine. I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for embedded systems expertise”

“Second project was when I contacted S5* to do PV work. .. The result was a very thorough job impressively documented at a very reasonable price. Furthermore the work was done on schedule, to the day, despite the fact that the job was nearly complete by the time the Mitel process got the contract straightened out demonstrating that S5 is willing to accept reasonable risk without finger pointing to meet commitments”

Embedded AI runs directly on devices—firmware, microcontrollers, or local processors—while Edge AI processes data closer to where it’s generated, often on gateways or edge servers. Together, and in combination with the cloud, they enable scalable solutions across industries such as automotive, manufacturing, energy, and telecom—where deploying cost-effective, reliable devices in large numbers is essential.
Embedded AI adds value wherever real-time decisions, efficiency, and cost reduction are priorities:
A deployed Embedded AI solution typically combines:
By embedding intelligence directly into devices, companies reduce dependency on cloud connectivity, lowering networking and data costs. It also cuts latency and hardware requirements, leading to a lower total cost of ownership (TCO). Over time, predictive features reduce downtime, warranty expenses, and service visits.
Edge AI enables faster, localized decision-making without relying on constant cloud access. This makes solutions more secure, cost-effective, and scalable, especially when deployed in large numbers of small, low-cost devices. For industries like automotive, healthcare, and IoT, this translates into smarter products, improved safety, and higher reliability.
We bring more than technology—we bring industry knowledge and product-building experience. ReliqAI integrates embedded expertise with AI innovation, third-party ecosystems, and secure practices. The result is a product that is not only technically advanced but also tuned to market needs—giving you an edge over competitors.
