BenQ Board Pro RP05 Debuts with Local NPU for Enhanced Classroom Privacy
BenQ has launched the BenQ Board Pro RP05, a new interactive display designed to handle artificial intelligence tasks locally within the classroom. By integrating a dedicated 10 TOPS Neural Processing Unit (NPU), the hardware allows schools to run AI-driven educational tools without sending sensitive student data to the cloud, addressing growing privacy concerns in the education sector.
The BenQ Board Pro RP05 is among the first interactive flat panels to ship with Android 15 and carries full Google EDLA (Enterprise Devices Licensing Agreement) certification. This official backing ensures that teachers have native access to the Google Play Store and essential productivity apps like Google Drive and Classroom directly on the 4K UHD screen. The system supports up to 50 simultaneous touch points, enabling large groups of students to collaborate on the display at once.
Local AI Processing on the BenQ Board Pro RP05
The inclusion of a 10 TOPS NPU is a significant hardware shift for interactive boards. Most current classroom displays rely on cloud-based processing for AI features, but the BenQ Board Pro RP05 performs these calculations on the device itself. This local approach minimizes latency and ensures that audio or visual data processed during lessons remains within the school's network. BenQ stated that this architecture is a direct response to the need for secure, AI-ready infrastructure in modern schools.
Beyond the internal processing power, the board features a high-end audio setup to fill large rooms. It includes a 70W sound system comprised of two 25W speakers and a 20W subwoofer. For health and safety, the display incorporates BenQ's ClassroomCare technology, which includes a germ-resistant screen coating and integrated sensors to monitor indoor air quality, specifically tracking CO2 and PM2.5 levels. These sensors provide real-time data to help administrators maintain a healthy learning environment.
Connectivity options on the BenQ Board Pro RP05 are extensive, featuring multiple USB-C ports that support 100W power delivery. This allows teachers to connect and charge their laptops with a single cable while sharing their screen. The 4K UHD panel also features anti-glare technology and a blue light filter to reduce eye strain during long instructional periods. BenQ has designed the interface to be intuitive, allowing users to switch between the Android OS and connected external devices with minimal effort.
The BenQ Board Pro RP05 is available in multiple sizes to fit different classroom environments. While specific regional pricing varies by configuration, the series is now part of BenQ's core education lineup for the 2026 academic year. Schools can manage these boards remotely using the BenQ Identity and Access Management system, which simplifies software updates and security patches across an entire campus.
