COMPUTER-ON-MODULES

COM BY NEXT SYSTEM

Computer-On-Modules (COM) are small, ready-to-use computing solutions that usually consist of application-independent hardware and operating system board support packages. Combined with application-specific carrier boards, this results in a wide range of possible uses in professional environments, such as medical technology, industrial automation and robotics, mechanical and plant engineering, and many other areas. The use of COM solutions brings not only rapid and economically efficient development, but also security in the sense of proven and future-proof technology.

Are you looking for a suitable x86-based solution for your individual application? With established partners we cover the wide range of different form factors in the COM area and have the right hardware and software for every application. We are happy to support you in the selection, specification and production of your requirement-specific solution.

COM-HPC – FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING

The use of standardized Computer-on-Modules in the embedded market has been proven for a long time – the best example is COM Express®, the successful and worldwide leading standard for Computer-on-Modules since 2005.

Today, however, the embedded market is facing new challenges. Applications such as artificial intelligence and the upcoming 5G wireless standard are associated with an enormous hunger for data and require more computing power. This also requires new concepts for embedded computers: existing standards will no longer be sufficient to meet the growing demands of the embedded market.

Leading manufacturers in the industry, such as Kontron, have set up a new working group in the PICMG standardization committee to make the COM standard fit for the future. Computer-On-Modules High Performance Computing – COM HPC – will complement the existing COM Express® standard.

  • Long-term availability
  • High scalability via CPU architectures and technology evolution
  • Future-proof PCIe Gen4/5 and up to 25G Ethernet per lane
  • Cost-optimized cabling/integration
  • Robustness, advanced environmental specification
  • Small form factor in space-constrained applications
  • Industrial-grade connectors
