HiTech, a developer of the LinQ AI accelerator line, has signed a partnership agreement with the Siberian State University of Geosystems and Technologies (SSUGIT). The collaboration focuses on integrating domestic hardware into the university's academic and industrial processes.

The partners will participate in the Advanced Engineering Schools federal project. HiTech will supply its LinQ-based AI platforms for special instrumentation projects, while SSUGIT will act as a hub for industrial cooperation.

LinQ accelerators will be deployed in machine vision tasks for industrial quality control and integrated into drone systems for mapping and geodesy. These onboard units will support navigation, data collection, and terrain monitoring.

A key objective is the development of trusted AI solutions based on domestic hardware. This initiative aims to provide SSUGIT and its partners with secure infrastructure for handling sensitive data, eliminating reliance on foreign components.
