CHAIRMANFurther to my last blog post, once my virtual friend Harry (CTO of BestECG company) decided to use System on Modules (SOM) for building the next ECG machine, he started exploring various SOM vendors to choose the ideal one. Harry knows that the SOM’s hardware is a commodity, and any vendor can offer a SOM based on a leading processor, so he created a bucket list for choosing his ideal SOM partner.

Guaranteed SOM availability for 7+ years as ECG machines have a long product life

Excellent post-sales support and maintenance Low cost Matured software ecosystem Ex-stock availability

CHAIRMANToradex was able to match more than Harry’s expectations.

Long term availability: Guaranteed 10+ years availability of modules. For example, the Colibri PXA270 module was launched in 2005, and this module shall be available till 2020

Scalable platforms: Pin-compatible modules that enable upgrades on existing platforms as easy as plug-and-play. This helps OEMs mitigate technology obsolescence issues

CHAIRMANIn this presentation, I have attempted to showcase why Toradex would be your ideal SOM partner for your next project. In my next post, I will give you a few details about the Toradex product families and which end-applications can be built using these modules.
