▪ Early conversations with system engineers:

Many could use standard form factors like 3U VPX and PCIe

BUT - About 50% were looking for a smaller board size

▪ These boards were often for deployment in rugged and limited space environments

Pentek decided to build the Quartz family of products around a small System on

Module architecture

When small is not small enough…
