congatec presents the SMARC 2.0 Quick Starter Kit for Intel Atom processors (code name Apollo Lake). The kit comes with congatec’s first SMARC 2.0 module – the conga-SA5 – and everything developers need for the immediate evaluation of the new SMARC 2.0 standard as well as the latest Intel Atom processor generation. Application engineers of connected Industry 4.0 and wireless IoT devices will love the option of the integrated wir...

congatec has released COM Express Compact and Qseven Computer-on-Modules in time with the launch of Intel’s low-power processors (code name Apollo Lake). The modules with Intel Atom, Celeron and Pentium processors feature the powerful Intel Gen 9 graphics and deliver an impressive performance per watt improvement, enabling the implementation of even more powerful designs with even lower energy consumption.

Parallel to the preview release of the COM Express Type 7 specification, congatec is introducing new Server-on-Modules with Intel Xeon D processors (codename Broadwell). Based on the COM Express Basic standard form factor (95x125mm), the modules feature 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, 32 PCIe lanes and headless server performance currently with up to 16 server cores and 48GB of DDR4 ECC RAM.

Application ready and easily customisable for rapid field deployment, congatec has introduced its highly flexible IoT gateway system. The gateway offers extreme levels of flexibility in terms of processing performance and software integration, able to host up to eight wireless antennas that can be connected to three mini PCI Express slots and six internal USB based slots for wireless and wired connectivity modules.

Full support of the new SMARC 2.0 specification, which was released by the Standardisation Group for Embedded Technologies e.V. (SGET) just a few days ago has been announced by congatec. This major technology adaption extends congatec’s leading and extensive COM portfolio to include a brand new solution which is perfectly positioned between Qseven and COM Express.

congatec has introduced two Server-on-Modules based on the latest Intel Xeon E3-1578L and E3-1558 processors, which have been designed for real-time media processing. The conga-TS170 modules feature integrated Intel Iris Pro Graphics accelerated by 128MB fast eDRAM and double graphics base frequency for outstanding transcoding and video processing performance.

congatec increases the scalability of its COM Express Computer-on-Modules with two entry-level models based on the latest Intel 14nm microarchitecture (formerly codename Skylake). The Intel Celeron processor-based COM Express Basic and Compact modules combine cost efficient dual-core CPU performance with state of the art features such as 4k multiscreen support, high-speed DDR4 RAM with increased bandwidth and four USB 3.0 ports.

  congatec has announced that it fully supports the upcoming new SGET and PICMG CoM specifications SMARC 2.0, Qseven 2.1 and COM Express 3.0. Modules complying with these standards are already in development and will be announced in time with the launch of the next processor generations.

Expanding its COM Express portfolio, congatec has launched a module based on the AMD G-Series SOC (called Brown Falcon). Compared to modules based on the previous generation of AMD Embedded G-series SOCs, the conga-TR3 with dual-core AMD GX-217GI processor provides up to 30% more graphics performance and 15% more overall system performance.

Expanding its COM Express Basic Server-on-Module portfolio, congatec has announced a module featuring the Intel Xeon Processor E3-1515M v5, fast DDR4 memory and Intel Iris Pro graphics. The GPU of the conga-TS170 provides 128MB eDRAM and with 72 execution units it has three times more parallel execution power than the Skylake architecture without Iris graphics.

congatec has announced a family of highly scalable Thin Mini-ITX boards with Intel processors - from from 2.0GHz Intel Celeron up to 3.4GHz Intel Core i7. The conga-IC170 Thin Mini-ITX boards offer a fully configurable thermal design power from 7.5 to 15W and up to 32GB of DDR4 RAM as well as 4K multiscreen support.

congatec has introduced highly cost-effective versions of its existing COM Express and Qseven modules as well as Mini-ITX boards. They are all equipped with the strategically low-priced, long-term available Intel Atom x5-E8000 processor. This 64bit quadcore processor significantly lowers the entry threshold of powerful x86 computing and, now also in terms of price, offers developers a true alternative to competing platforms based on ARM technolog...

congatec has extended the life cycle of their AMD processor-based ETX and XTX computer modules at least until the end of 2019, extending the module availability from the usual 7 years to 12-14 years. The conga-ELX, conga-ELXeco and conga-XLX modules were launched in 2005 and 2007 with AMD Geode LX 800 500MHz processors. This announcement effectively doubles the standard availability of embedded x86 processor technology.

congatec AG has introduced COM Express basic modules parallel to AMD's launch of its next-gen high-end embedded processors. The conga-TR3 modules with dual- or quad-core AMD Embedded R-Series SOCs offer not only a much more broadly scalable TDP from 12 to 35W over earlier modules and a significantly improved performance per watt but two added features: high-performance AMD Radeon graphics as well as full support of the HSA specification 1.0.

congatec AG is to extend its industrial-grade Thin Mini-ITX motherboard portfolio to include graphics-rich conga-IA4 boards with 14nm Intel Pentium and Celeron processors (codenamed Braswell) and full Windows 10 support. Compared to their predecessors, the Thin Mini-ITX boards offer increased computing and graphics performance as well as support for up to three 4k displays.

congatec AG extends its portfolio of credit card-sized computer modules by integrating the 14nm Intel Pentium and Celeron processors (codenamed Braswell) on COM Express Mini modules. The conga-MA4 module enhances performance density, however heat dissipation has been lowered to a SDP (Scenario Design Power) of 4W, enabling very compact, passively cooled system designs.

congatec has announced the conga-TCA4, the company's first COM Express compact module based on the Intel Pentium and Celeron processors (codenamed Braswell). The robust COM Express modules consume just 4W on average while providing increased graphics capabilities and overall performance. Up to 16 graphics execution units can support up to three HD displays or two 4k displays and achieve a theoretical peak performance of 358.4GFlop/s.

congatec is extending its product portfolio for the most popular Qseven standard by now offering COMs in the 40x70mm sub-credit-card µQseven format. The first flagship module of this next-gen mini form factor is the conga-UMX6 with ARM Cortex A9-based Freescale i.MX 6 processors. It caters to applications in harsh environments, which require compact low-power designs, appealing multimedia and computing performance.

  Four COM Express compact modules have been introduced by congatec, parallel to the launch of the new 6th generation Intel Core processors. The devices are specially designed for challenging applications that demand high performance in sealed, fanless system designs.

congatec has announced the expansion of its industrial-grade Mini-ITX motherboard portfolio with two highly efficient low-power conga-IGX variants that are based on the Gen 2 AMD Embedded G-Series SoC processor (codenamed "Steppe Eagle") and feature powerful SoC integrated AMD Radeon graphics. The low-power motherboards are scalable with a TDP ranging between 5 and 15W max.
