With the Computer-On-Module (COM) approach, all generic PC functions are readily available on an off-the-shelf compact module. A custom designed carrier board complements the COM with additional functionality that is required for a specific application. The carrier boards provide all the interface connectors to attach the system to peripherals such as hard disk, mouse, and display.

Computers on Module allow system developers to focus on their core competencies and the unique functions of their systems. The end result is a compact, high-performance system designed in a shortened development time. This approach greatly enhances productivity and reduces time to market.
