Why use a Computer-on-module? What are the Benefits?
A computer-on-module (COM) is a type of single-board computer (SBC), a subtype of an embedded computer system. An extension of the concept of system on chip (SoC) and system in package (SiP), COM lies between a full-up computer and a microcontroller in nature.
What are the Advantages of an Industrial PC?
Industrial grade or embedded PC systems are designed for use in environments where consumer/commercial grade PC Systems are not suitable for the application at hand.
What are the Advantages of a Rugged Computer?
A rugged computer, or ruggedized PC is a computer specifically designed to operate reliably in harsh usage environments and conditions, such as extreme temperatures, strong vibrations and wet or dusty conditions.

What is an Embedded Computer?
Embedded Computers (sometimes known as ‘Embedded Systems) are purpose-built computing platforms designed for a specific task or fixed functionality – where at every re-boot, a fixed environment is activated. These are not your typical desktop or tower computers that we are used to using at home or in the office.
Why Use a Portable Pelicase Computer?
I have a laptop, why would I need a portable computer? We often see examples of field-based test or surveillance equipment based on a laptop computer. If the application is in a reasonably benign environment and there aren’t too many external real-world connections the laptop or tablet can be a good solution.
