Micropolis Holding Co. announced the launch of a new industrial‑grade, IP67‑rated Edge Computing Unit (ECU) powered by NVIDIA Orin SOC on November 18, 2025. The ECU delivers high‑performance, low‑latency AI processing directly on Micropolis’ proprietary Microspot platform, enabling real‑time surveillance, behavior‑analysis, and mission‑management functions.
The new ECU is available in 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB, and 64 GB memory configurations and is built around the NVIDIA Orin NX variant, which delivers up to 275 TOPS of AI performance. The design incorporates an Arm Cortex‑A78AE CPU and dedicated deep‑learning accelerators, and its IP67 rating allows it to operate in dust‑ and water‑exposed environments typical of border‑control and national‑security sites.
Micropolis targets law‑enforcement, border‑control, and national‑security customers. The ECU enables advanced computer‑vision, object‑detection, and suspect‑profiling tasks without relying on cloud connectivity, and it can coordinate with autonomous surveillance robots in a distributed edge network to enhance situational awareness across large or remote areas.
The launch comes as Micropolis grapples with a sharp decline in revenue and widening losses. In 2024, the company’s revenue fell 77.46 % to AED 130,043 from AED 577,064 in 2023, while losses increased 87.5 %. The new ECU is part of a strategy to create new revenue streams from on‑device AI services and to strengthen the company’s hardware‑software integration moat.
Micropolis estimates that the ECU could capture a modest share of the growing edge‑AI market for security and surveillance, which is projected to reach several billion dollars by 2028. The company projects that the ECU could generate annual revenue of several million dollars, helping to offset its current financial headwinds.
The company’s competitors in the edge‑AI space include NVIDIA’s own Jetson AGX Orin boards, Intel NUC‑based solutions, and other industrial AI platforms. Micropolis differentiates itself by integrating the ECU into its end‑to‑end Microspot platform, offering a field‑ready solution that combines hardware, embedded software, and high‑level autonomy in a single package.
CEO Fareed Aljawhari emphasized that the integration of NVIDIA Orin SOC into the IP67‑rated ECU ensures that Microspot can process complex AI models instantly and securely on‑site, enabling real‑time decision‑making for law‑enforcement, border control, and other critical operations where reliability cannot be compromised.
While the product launch represents a significant technological milestone, the company’s financial health remains fragile. Cash reserves are approximately $4.2 million, and the March 2025 IPO raised $15.5 million. Management remains focused on cost discipline and strategic investments, acknowledging that the ECU launch may generate incremental revenue but is unlikely to reverse the company’s current loss trajectory in the short term.
Investor sentiment remains cautious, reflecting concerns about the company’s valuation and ongoing financial challenges. The ECU launch positions Micropolis to compete in the expanding edge‑AI market, but the company must address its financial constraints to fully capitalize on the opportunity.
