Computer-on-Modules

Computing technology is advancing at an incredible pace, pressuring equipment manufacturers to find ways keep up in order to stay competitive. For companies developing both high-end and entry-level products, this challenge is even greater due to the need to incorporate a wider range of technology. Manufacturers who need to satisfy a wide range of product requirements in a way that minimizes development effort and time-to-market should consider adopting a Computer-on-Module (COM) strategy. The COM modular design approach relieves equipment developers from being concerned with many aspects of complex, computer system design while allowing for differentiation on the carrier board. By using industry-standard, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products, equipment manufacturers can take advantage of many benefits.
