The Hailo-8 Century High-Performance PCIe Card HCN0802I1HSXA is a high-throughput edge AI acceleration starter kit designed for systems that require greater AI inference capacity than a single compact M.2 accelerator can provide.
The card delivers up to 52 TOPS of AI inference performance, making it suitable for complex computer vision pipelines, multi-camera video analytics and other workloads that require several deep-learning models to operate concurrently. The Century family is designed to provide data-centre-class AI processing capability in edge computing environments.
The HCN0802I1HSXA configuration is based on the Century 0802S platform and is supplied as a starter kit. Distributor specifications identify the card as a 52 TOPS PCIe Gen 3 acceleration card with approximately 6 W power consumption.
The Hailo-8 Century architecture is optimised for real-time, low-latency neural-network inference and efficient concurrent processing. It supports multiple video streams and multiple neural-network models simultaneously, helping developers build scalable AI systems for intelligent video analytics, industrial inspection, security, smart cities and advanced edge computing.
The card is designed for installation in systems with a compatible PCIe x16 physical slot. Hailo specifies that the small-form-factor Century cards require host systems that support the appropriate PCIe bifurcation configuration. For the 0802 family, host PCIe configuration requirements should be verified during system integration.
Hailo's Century small-form-factor cards use a single-slot HHHL design, with dimensions of approximately 68.9 × 167.65 mm. This allows high AI processing density while retaining compatibility with many industrial PCs, edge servers and workstation-class systems.
The card supports Linux and Windows 10/11 environments and integrates with Hailo's AI software ecosystem. Supported AI frameworks include TensorFlow, TensorFlow Lite, Keras, PyTorch and ONNX, enabling developers to deploy widely used deep-learning models on the Hailo platform.
The Century platform is designed for industrial operation and supports a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. This makes the HCN0802I1HSXA suitable for industrial automation, intelligent transportation, smart infrastructure and other demanding edge environments.
By running AI workloads locally, the Hailo-8 Century 0802S can help reduce cloud dependency, network bandwidth requirements and inference latency while supporting continuous multi-stream AI processing close to the data source.
