BOXABL Unveils Server Pod Concept, Invites Data Center Industry to Explore Custom Factory-Built Designs

Published

3 months ago

on

Factory-built Server Pod concept targets data center deployment as sector investment is projected to reach $3 trillion by 2030. Server Pods are a design concept, not a product currently in production or for sale.

LAS VEGAS, Aug. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BOXABL Inc. (Nasdaq: BXBL), the factory-built construction company known for reimagining how buildings are made, today unveiled its Server Pod concept — a design study for modular, factory-assembled enclosures intended to house AI and cloud computing infrastructure. The Server Pod is a concept only as BOXABL has not begun manufacturing Server Pods. BOXABL is publishing the concept to demonstrate what its factory is capable of building and to invite data center developers, operators and equipment vendors to engage BOXABL to design and manufacture custom structures for their specific deployments. BOXABL’s factory is available to partner and build custom designs of nearly any kind, and the company believes factory assembly can address some of the speed, cost and labor challenges facing the data center industry as it heads toward what JLL Research calls one of the largest infrastructure investment supercycles in the modern era.

According to JLL’s 2026 Global Data Center Market Outlook, the sector is expected to grow at a 14% CAGR through 2030, with roughly 100 GW of new capacity coming online between 2026 and 2030 — nearly doubling global capacity. Meeting that demand is expected to require up to $3 trillion in total investment: approximately $1.2 trillion in real estate asset value creation, plus another $1 to $2 trillion in tenant spending to fit out space with servers, GPUs and networking equipment. JLL also reports that data center construction costs have risen at a 7% CAGR since 2020 and that speed to power is now the top site-selection criterion for developers — with grid connection wait times exceeding four years in many primary markets.

“The data center industry needs to build faster than it currently can, and we think our factory can help,” said Paolo Tiramani, Co-CEO of BOXABL. “Construction costs are climbing and grid connection queues are years long, right when the world needs capacity faster than ever. We built BOXABL to take housing off the job site and onto an assembly line. The Server Pod concept is our way of showing the industry what that same approach could look like for compute infrastructure. We are not selling Server Pods today — we are inviting companies to bring us their data center problems and partner to design and build a custom solution.”

A design concept, not a product line

To illustrate the idea, BOXABL developed a set of concept configurations that share a single design language and scale from compact edge deployments to campus-scale installations. The specifications below are conceptual design targets used for illustration; they are not specifications of any manufactured product and would be finalized only through project-level engineering with a customer:

10-foot Server Pod — concept envisioning a 0.5 petaflop tier, 8 racks (7′, 42U), up to 250 servers and 15 cores, in a 10′ x 8.5′ insulated envelope with 9′ ceilings.20-foot Server Pod — concept envisioning a 1.0 petaflop tier, 16 racks (7′, 42U), up to 500 servers and 30 cores, in a 20′ x 8.5′ envelope.40-foot Server Pod — concept envisioning a 2.0 petaflop format, 36 racks (7′, 42U), up to 900 servers and 56 cores.Server Tron — a 2,500-square-foot, enterprise-scale concept envisioned at 16 petaflop operations per second, extending the same modular design language to higher-throughput campus deployments.

As envisioned, each pod would pair filtered-air and liquid-cooled precision cooling with an energy-efficient, thermally broken building envelope, so operators could dedicate space to processing power rather than additional real estate. The concept calls for each unit to leave the factory as a pre-cabled, clean enclosure built around pre-installed racks, on a structural pallet frame with integrated fork pockets for rapid positioning on site. Actual configurations, cooling approaches and equipment would be determined with each customer.

Conceptual engineering targets used in the design study include 2-inch exterior wall, floor-over-frame and ceiling assemblies each targeting an R-8 insulation value, a 50 psf floor live load, a 40 psf roof live load, and a 110 mph wind speed rating. In a custom project, on-site work would generally include validating site conditions (wind, snow, seismic and flood considerations), site prep, utilities, anchoring, permitting, easements and setbacks, and connecting servers, structural elements and electrical service. All engineering, ratings and equipment loading would be subject to project-level design and review and could differ materially from the concept.

Companies interested in exploring a custom Server Pod or data center project can share their interest at https://www.boxabl.com/ai-data-centers.

Open for custom design and manufacturing partnerships

JLL’s outlook notes that AI represented roughly a quarter of data center workloads in 2025, with a shift anticipated in 2027 as inference overtakes training as the dominant AI compute requirement — a transition expected to push workloads from centralized clusters toward distributed, regional deployments. BOXABL believes factory-built, repeatable structures could be well suited to that shift. The company is now seeking to engage data center developers, hyperscalers, colocation providers, equipment manufacturers and other partners interested in contracting BOXABL to design and manufacture custom modular structures for their deployments. The Server Pod concept is a starting point for those conversations; BOXABL’s factory can be engaged to build custom designs tailored to a partner’s specific requirements. Any Server Pod or similar product would be developed and built only under such an agreement, and there is no assurance that any agreement will be reached or that any such product will be built.

November 11, 2026

By

New i.MX 95 SoM, HummingBoard i.MX 95 IIoT carrier and camera partner ecosystem connect NXP edge nodes to SolidRun’s NVIDIA-based AI systems under one vendor, with all three Ethernet PHYs, including 10GbE, on the module

MUNICH, Germany and TEL AVIV, Israel, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SolidRun, a leading developer and manufacturer of high-performance System-on-Modules (SoMs), Single Board Computers (SBCs) and industrial edge computing solutions, today at electronica 2026 announced its NXP® i.MX 95 product family, combining the i.MX 95 SoM, HummingBoard i.MX 95 IIoT industrial carrier, software support, a camera integration ecosystem and a demonstrated end-to-end NVIDIA Holoscan implementation.

Engineered for Industry 4.0, real-time robotics, energy storage systems (ESS) and industrial networking infrastructure, the platform delivers deterministic multi-gigabit networking, real-time safety control and scalable Physical Edge AI. By bringing the essential hardware, software and integration capabilities together under one roof, SolidRun helps OEMs simplify development, reduce engineering risk and accelerate time to market.

“Industrial OEMs and infrastructure providers are moving rapidly toward Physical AI, but they face immense friction with multi-gigabit signal routing and fragmented vendor ecosystems,” said Alexander Schwartz, Head of Product at SolidRun. “By integrating all Ethernet PHYs, including 10GbE, directly on the i.MX 95 SoM while maintaining drop-in pin compatibility with our i.MX8 lines, we eliminate hardware design friction. And because we design both our NXP and NVIDIA edge platforms in-house, our customers gain a single, fully integrated system architecture that scales from compact real-time nodes up to enterprise-grade AI clusters under one roof.”

A Complete Industrial Ecosystem, From Sensor to AI

At the center of the portfolio is SolidRun’s HummingBoard i.MX 95 IIoT industrial carrier, designed for demanding applications that require high-speed networking, real-time control and multi-sensor integration. Key features include:

Industrial connectivity: Dual Gigabit Ethernet, 10GbE RJ45 with optional SFP+ optical connectivity, dual CAN-FD, RS485 and RS232Real-time control and safety: Cortex-M7 (800MHz) and Cortex-M33 (333MHz) safety domain, providing a foundation for ASIL-B and SIL-2 functional safety certificationVision and expansion: Dual MIPI CSI-2 camera interfaces with advanced ISP support, dual display outputs and multiple M.2 slots for AI acceleration, NVMe storage and 5G/cellular connectivity

Beyond the hardware, SolidRun supports a growing ecosystem of camera partners, software solutions, developer tools and application demonstrations, giving customers a coordinated platform from initial evaluation through deployment.

Demonstrated NVIDIA Holoscan Integration

SolidRun is the first to demonstrate a complete, self-contained i.MX 95 to NVIDIA Holoscan to GPU implementation on hardware from a single vendor. The pipeline processes camera and sensor data using the i.MX 95’s integrated ISP and 2.3 TOPS NPU, streams it over 10GbE for GPU inference on a SolidRun NVIDIA-based AI system, and returns commands to the Cortex-M7 core for real-time closed-loop control. Because the implementation is fully software-defined, it handles more complex workloads than fixed-function streaming front ends.

One Vendor, From NXP Edge Nodes to NVIDIA AI Systems

SolidRun brings its NXP-based embedded platforms and NVIDIA-based AI systems together in a unified, software-defined architecture, giving customers a single hardware partner from edge processing to advanced AI inference. This integrated approach simplifies development, reduces integration complexity and accelerates time to market.

Simplifying Industrial Design with Integrated Connectivity

Unlike other i.MX 95 modules that route raw SERDES or USXGMII signals to carrier connectors, SolidRun is the first to integrate all three Ethernet PHYs, including 10GbE, directly on the SoM. This eliminates the need for OEMs to design complex multi-gigabit PHY circuitry, high-speed differential pairs and magnetics, reducing PCB complexity, EMI compliance risk and development cost. All three Ethernet ports support Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) for deterministic industrial communication.

The i.MX 95 SoM also retains the 47 x 30 mm footprint and pinout compatibility of SolidRun’s previous-generation i.MX8 and i.MX8M Plus modules, providing an upgrade path without redesigning existing carrier hardware. Powered by Arm® Cortex®-A55 cores, LPDDR5 memory and the integrated eIQ® Neutron NPU, the platform increases AI processing and bandwidth while protecting customers’ existing hardware investments.

“Physical AI at the industrial edge demands compute, real-time control and safety on one chip, which is exactly what we designed the i.MX 95 to deliver, with its eIQ Neutron NPU, integrated ISP and dedicated safety domain,” said Robert Thompson, Director, Secure Connected Edge Ecosystem at NXP Semiconductors. “SolidRun’s module puts that capability to work the way OEMs need it, with the hardest parts of the system design already done, so they can bring their next generation of intelligent industrial products to market faster and with less risk.”

Availability

The SolidRun i.MX 95 SoM and HummingBoard i.MX 95 IIoT carrier are shipping now in quad- and hexa-core configurations, with commercial, wide and industrial temperature grades, including industrial operation from -40°C to +85°C.

2100 Ventures ranks #28 among the Top 50 investors and lenders behind Sifted’s AI 100, as Alessandro Benetton backs the next generation of European tech innovators

LONDON, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Two London startups backed by European early-stage venture capital firm 2100 Ventures have been recognised in Sifted’s 2026 AI 100, which ranks Europe’s most promising AI-native startups. Swap ranks #9 and Lupa #38, among four 2100 Ventures portfolio companies to make this year’s list. 

2100 Ventures has also been named the only Italian investor among Sifted’s Top 50 investors and lenders behind the AI 100, ranking #28 overall, with twice as many portfolio companies represented as last year. The recognition highlights the firm’s role in identifying and supporting emerging European technology businesses as they develop and scale. 

Alongside Swap (#9) and Lupa (#38), the other 2100 Ventures-backed companies recognised are Mimic (#23) and Orbio (#62). 

More than 1,500 eligible companies were considered for Sifted’s 2026 AI 100, which covers AI-native startups valued under $1bn, with companies assessed on market opportunity, competitive differentiation and momentum. 

London-based Swap, which ranks #9 in the AI 100, provides an AI-powered platform helping ecommerce brands manage and grow their global operations. Founded in 2022, the company raised $100 million in January 2026, following a $40 million Series B, bringing its total funding to $149 million. 

Lupa (#38) is a London-based, AI-native veterinary technology company developing software to modernise veterinary practice management by automating administrative tasks, clinical documentation and client communications. Founded in 2023, the company raised $4 million in seed funding in January 2025 from investors including firstminute capital, 2100 Ventures and Vento by Exor Ventures. In October 2025, Lupa announced a further $20 million Series A, bringing its reported total funding to $25 million. 

Founded in 2023 by Alessandro Benetton alongside Andrea Casasco and Andrea Gennarini, 2100 Ventures invests in and supports early-stage businesses across sectors including AI, SaaS, fintech, data and ClimateTech. The firm – supported by Edizione, one of the most important European industrial holdings, and 21 Invest – works with emerging founders as they develop ambitious ideas and build businesses capable of international impact. 

Alessandro Benetton, Chairman of Edizione, founded the private equity firm 21 Invest in 1992, which has since raised more than €3 billion in capital and invested in more than 110 companies. His involvement in 2100 Ventures extends that investment activity into Europe’s early-stage technology ecosystem, with a focus on backing a new generation of entrepreneurs and innovation that can create shared value for business and society.

Alessandro Benetton said: “Europe has extraordinary entrepreneurial talent, and we believe strongly in giving the next generation of founders the backing they need to turn ambitious ideas into businesses with international impact. 

“Young people represent both the present and the future of our society. We need to listen to them, help them express their talent and support them as they drive innovation and bring forward new solutions for society. For me, this is also what shared value means: supporting enterprise in a way that creates lasting benefits not only for business, but for the wider communities it serves. 

“Having four 2100 Ventures portfolio companies recognised among Sifted’s AI 100 is encouraging. It reflects the ambition of these founders and the importance of giving emerging talent the support, confidence and resources to challenge established models and create new opportunities. That was central to why we created 2100 Ventures.”
