Hardware Design Architectures

1. Custom Carrier Board + SOM

This modular approach accelerates development by integrating a pre-certified SOM with a custom-designed carrier board tailored to your specific interface and functional requirements.

Advantages:

   - Reduced Development Time: Leverage proven SOM core (processor, memory, power, etc.) to focus on application-specific design.

   - Lower Risk: SOMs are pre-tested and certified for wireless, EMI, and reliability

   - Scalability & Upgradability: Easily migrate to newer SOMs for future product iterations without redesigning the entire board.

Ideal For:

Applications requiring advanced processing, connectivity features, or where time-to-market is critical.

2. Single Board Design

A fully customized, integrated board where all components - including processor, memory, power, and peripherals - are designed onto a single PCB.

Advantages:

   - Enhanced Thermal Performance & Compact Size: Single-board design enables better heat dissipation and eliminates connectors, resulting in a more compact form factor. This is particularly beneficial for space-constrained applications.

   - Design Freedom: Complete control over every aspect of the hardware layout and component selection.

   - Integration: Can be optimized for specific thermal, mechanical, or electrical constraints.

Ideal For:

Size-constrained, thermally demanding, or very high-volume products with stable, long-life requirements.

Hardware Design Service Models

We offer two distinct service models to align with your intellectual property (IP) strategy, supply chain preferences, and production plans.

1. Open BOM Design Service

A transparent, collaborative partnership where we deliver all necessary design outputs, empowering you to manufacture independently.

Deliverables Include:

   - Complete hardware design files (schematics, PCB layout, Gerbe files)

   - Detailed Bill of Materials (BOM) with sourcing information

   - Design documentation, test reports, and guidance

Your Benefits:

   - Full Design Ownership: Receive all IP and files for unrestricted manufacturing.

   - Supply Chain Control: Freedom to choose and qualify your own production partners.

   - Long-term Flexibility: Modify or upgrade the design in-house or with any third party.

Best For:

Clients with in-house engineering and supply chain capabilities, or those requiring full control over production and design IP.

Hardware Design Service Models

2. Non Open-BOM Design Service

A streamlined service where we manage the core design IP, providing documentation for verification and requiring production through our trusted manufacturing channels.

Deliverables Include:

   - For Review: PDF schematics and PCB drawings for full technical approval.

   - For Production: We handle the fabrication, assembly, and testing using our proprietary design files (Gerbers, etc.).

Your Benefits:

   - IP Protection & Simplicity: We retain the core design files, safeguarding your product from easy replication.

   - Guaranteed Quality: Production is managed through our vetted, high-quality manufacturing partners.

   - Reduced Management Overhead: We handle the manufacturing complexities, ensuring consistency and reliability.

Best For:

Clients who prefer to outsource full turnkey production, protect design IP, or minimize direct engagement with multiple suppliers.
