Standalone thermal solutions, built on decades of NVIDIA Jetson expertise, now available across the full Jetson family, without requiring a Connect Tech carrier or system purchase
For Immediate Release
Nuremberg, Germany, March 11, 2026 — Connect Tech Inc. (CTI), a global leader in rugged Edge AI computing platforms, announced ThermiQ™ Edge AI Cooling Solutions today at Embedded World in Nuremberg, Germany. ThermiQ™ is a new standalone thermal management brand that is purpose-engineered for NVIDIA® Jetson™-based systems, deployed at the Edge. Available immediately across the full NVIDIA Jetson family, ThermiQ™ products can be purchased singularly or in bulk without a Connect Tech carrier board or full system, giving engineering teams a proven, deployment-ready thermal starting point that accelerates time-to-market.
ThermiQ™ addresses one of the most persistent challenges in Edge AI deployments: maintaining stable, predictable performance under sustained workloads, constrained form factors, and harsh environmental conditions. Unlike generic industrial cooling or data-center-centric thermal products, ThermiQ™ is specifically engineered for Edge AI workloads where continuous operation, elevated ambient temperatures, vibration, shock, and space constraints converge simultaneously.
“As one of the first NVIDIA Jetson partners, Connect Tech has been designing and manufacturing thermal solutions for Jetson platforms since 2015,” said Rob Callaghan, Chief Product Officer, Connect Tech. “ThermiQ™ reflects how we engineer real systems by prioritizing sustained performance, deployment realities, and long-term reliability. These are battle-tested designs that have performed in some of the most demanding environments our customers face. Formalizing them under the ThermiQ™ brand makes that expertise more visible and accessible to the market.”
Purpose-Built Where It Counts
CTI’s engineering teams combine mechanical design, advanced thermal analysis, and real production experience across thousands of deployed systems. Every ThermiQ™ product reflects that system-level understanding: Jetson power envelopes, enclosure constraints, airflow limitations, fin geometry, mounting strategies, and manufacturability; all engineered together to deliver predictable, reliable behavior from prototype through full-scale production.
ThermiQ™ isn’t generic thermal hardware. It is engineered thermal management for Edge AI systems that must perform reliably in real-world environments.
ThermiQ™ Edge AI Cooling Solutions:
- Active Cooling: Fan-assisted solutions optimized for sustained AI workloads in compact, thermally-constrained deployments
- Passive Cooling: Fanless, rugged heat sink designs for high-reliability environments where moving parts are not an option
- Liquid Cooling: High-capacity thermal systems for extreme power densities and severely constrained airflow scenarios
- Cold Plate Solutions: Direct-contact thermal interfaces engineered for conduction-based cooling and fully-sealed enclosures
Validated Across the Industries That Demand the Most
ThermiQ™ solutions are proven in production across robotics and autonomous systems, industrial automation, transportation, public sector deployments, and other harsh operating environments. This real-world validation informs every design decision. Customers benefit from thousands of hours of deployed field experience.
Availability and Bulk Purchasing
ThermiQ™ Edge AI Cooling Solutions are available now as standalone products across the NVIDIA Jetson family. Bulk purchasing options are available to support volume deployments and accelerate time-to-market for OEMs, integrators, and development teams scaling existing designs into production.
