COMPUTER ON MODULE

Congatec are an industry leading manufacturer of high-performance embedded computing with an extensive range of Computer-on-Modules. Headquartered in Deggendorf and founded in 2004 with 500+ employees based globally Congatec develops scalable solutions based on both x86 and ARM architectures.

Utilising high level CPUs from Intel, ARM and AMD, their products ensure long-term product availability and support and strong lifecycle management, which is usually important for high reliability applications where approvals and certifications are paramount. The use of computer on modules, enable designers a faster route to market, while ensuring reliability and performance in demanding environments.

Computer on Modules are found in a variety of use cases such as; industrial automation, medical technology, transportation systems, and edge computing applications. Computer on Modules separate the CPU module from the carrier board, enabling flexible and scalable embedded designs.

All modules are designed and manufactured in line with industry standards such as; PICMG (PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group) and SGET (Standardisation Group for Embedded Technologies). Global open specification standards are important for high-performance industrial and embedded computing systems, as the use of standardisation maintains interoperable hardware.

Today’s most popular products from Congatec built to PICMG standards are COM-HPC and COM Express.

COM Express Type 6 and Type 7 tend to be the most popular footprints.

COM-HPC (High Performance Computing), the newest standard was designed for an ever-growing need within the industry for higher bandwidth, faster interfaces, and next-generation processors for edge servers and high-end embedded systems.
