PFU Systems Introduces Off-the-Shelf COM Express Carrier Board

                   See the LITE Board at ESC-SV Booth 101

    PLYMOUTH, Minn., March 23 /PRNewswire/ -- PFU Systems announces the
availability of the Universal LITE Carrier Board combining all of the
interfaces commonly found on today's basic computing platforms in an
affordable off-the-shelf product. The Universal LITE Carrier Board is
designed to eliminate the design risk and much of the remaining cost in
developing an embedded solution.
    "The inception of the Computer On Module (COM) concept promised faster
time to market and lowered design costs through the use of a compute module
that only required the design of an application appropriate carrier board,"
stated James Payne, PFU's Manager of Embedded Marketing. "The introduction
of the COM Express PICMG standard applied that concept to the latest
technologies and further reductions in cost through competition. Now the
availability of the Universal LITE Carrier Board completes the picture of
lowered cost and time to market."
    The Universal LITE Carrier Board is a COM Express basic form factor
carrier board in a 162.56mm x 116.84mm (6.4in x 4.6in) footprint. It
provides standard connectors for easy access to COM Express compliant
interfaces such as SATA, IDE, LVDS LCD, CRT, LAN, USB, and Audio with the
stringent quality standards that the industry has come to expect from PFU.
The Universal LITE Carrier Board is designed for ease of use and priced at
a fraction of the module cost to simplify the creation of an embedded
platform with drastically reduced deployment time and cost.
