BenQ Brings On-Device Generative AI to Indian Education

BenQ has launched the Board Pro RP05 interactive display in India, marking a significant step in the evolution of AI classrooms across the country. The AI-powered interactive display is designed to address a persistent challenge in educational technology: making AI genuinely useful inside classrooms rather than merely adding features to specification sheets 1

. What sets the RP05 apart is its ability to run on-device generative AI without requiring active internet connectivity, a feature powered by a 10 TOPS Neural Processing Unit that delivers an ETHZ AI score of approximately 430, the highest in this segment in India .

The device runs on the MediaTek Genio 720 chipset, described as the world's most advanced IoT chipset, paired with 16GB DDR5X RAM and 256GB storage . This hardware configuration enables educators to access AI tools even in environments with limited connectivity, eliminating the slowdowns associated with cloud-dependent displays that typically operate on 4-6 TOPS NPU systems. According to Rajeev Singh, Managing Director of BenQ India and South Asia, "Teachers should focus on teaching, not on managing technology" 1

BenQ's EZWrite 6.0 whiteboard platform adds further depth with EZMath, which converts handwritten equations into digital content and performs calculations in real time. Translation support spans 59 languages, and text-to-speech functionality converts on-screen text into natural-sounding speech . The InstaShare 2 wireless screen sharing system includes AI Guardian, which scans images and videos from student devices in real time and blocks inappropriate content before it reaches the display. Importantly, BenQ states that AI features never store or collect personal data and only process information when actively called .
