GSI Technology has been awarded a Phase I contract by the Hsinchu County government in Taiwan to deploy its Gemini-II AI processor for a municipal safety project.

The “Smart Eye Guardian” system will use AI-based video analytics to monitor public safety events, including traffic incidents, fires, and hazardous activity. The initial pilot phase will run for six months and involve the deployment of the system across 20 network-connected cameras.

The Gemini-II platform performs AI inference at the edge. Data is processed on the local camera network rather than in a centralised data centre, reducing latency and bandwidth costs while operating within the power constraints of municipal infrastructure.

If the pilot is successful, follow-on phases could expand the system to 80 cameras and eventually to all security hotspots across the county. Production-scale deployments are anticipated to begin in 2027, with a public demonstration of the technology scheduled for late May.

“This award marks an important milestone for GSI as our first smart city deployment,” said Lee-Lean Shu, Chairman and CEO of GSI Technology. “We are seeing increasing demand for edge AI infrastructure that delivers real-time performance at low power across distributed camera networks.”
