Sixfab wins big at CES with Raspberry Pi–powered AI gateway

Our friends over at Sixfab, one of our long-standing Raspberry Pi Design Partners, are kicking off 2026 in serious style. They headed to Las Vegas this week to pick up the CES Best of Innovation Award — the show’s highest honour — for their new AI gateway, ALPON X5 AI, which is powered by Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 and DEEPX’s DX-M1 accelerator chip.

If you’ve ever needed to connect your Raspberry Pi to… well, just about anything, you’ve probably come across Sixfab’s gear. They’ve been making clever connectivity solutions for years: LTE and 5G modems, IoT shields, and the sort of industrial-ready bits and pieces that keep real-world deployments ticking without anyone having to duct-tape a USB dongle to a radio mast. (Not that we’re judging.)

Their award-winning ALPON X5 AI is an edge AI gateway designed for rugged deployments in the field — the kind where you need a full stack of compute, connectivity, and machine learning in one compact box. With Compute Module 5 and DX-M1 silicon under the hood, it’s built for low-power, high-performance inferencing at the edge, making it a strong fit for manufacturers rolling out smart kiosks, robotics, industrial automation solutions, or even that one remote sensor you’ve long since forgotten about somewhere on a hill in Wales.

Sixfab’s ALPON X5 AI brings:

• High-efficiency AI acceleration thanks to DEEPX’s DX-M1 chip
• Industrial-grade cellular and wired connectivity options
• Drop-in support for Raspberry Pi–based workflows and deployments
• A clean, developer-friendly software stack

We were at CES too; our very own Chris Boross and Samantha Snyder were on hand to celebrate Sixfab’s Best of Innovation win!

We’d like to extend a huge congratulations to the whole Sixfab team. They’ve been doing great stuff with Raspberry Pi for years, and it’s lovely to see them get this very shiny bit of recognition.
