congatec fully supports SMARC 2.0 specification

congatec – a leading technology company for embedded computer modules, single board computers (SBCs) and embedded design and manufacturing (EDM) services – has announced its full support of the new SMARC 2.0 specification, which was released by the Standardization Group for Embedded Technologies e.V. (SGET) just a few days ago. This major technology adaption extends congatec’s leading and extensive Computer-on-Module portfolio to include a brand new solution which is perfectly positioned between Qseven and COM Express.

congatec’s support of the standard is no surprise for insiders, as congatec played a major role within the SGET in developing the SMARC 2.0 specification. The new specification heralds a milestone in embedded Computer-on-Module technology and is especially designed for particularly multimedia oriented and IoT-connected small systems.

Christian Eder, Marketing Director at congatec, Member of the SGET Board and editor of the SMARC 2.0 specification comments on the importance of the new specification: “Revision 2.0 has elevated SMARC onto an excellent quality level and we can unconditionally recommend it to our customers. SMARC 2.0 has got all the right qualifications to become an extremely successful new module standard, and win significant market share.”

“With congatec in the role of draft editor we were able to significantly drive the advanced enhancements of this new specification,” Jason Carlson, CEO of congatec AG explains “We see SMARC 2.0 as complementary to our existing product offerings of Qseven and COM express, and by supporting all three platforms we will have a broader product offering to meet the expanding needs of our customers.”

SMARC 2.0 offers numerous leading-edge serial IOs as well as IoT, network and video interfaces and is thus destined for a wide range of multimedia and graphics-oriented IoT applications.
