Arbor Technology announces to join the ETX 3.0 Community in Computex
Date : June 15, 2006
The ETX® 3.0 community is rapidly growing: Arobr Technology announces to support the new 3.0 Specification of the world's best proven Computer-on-Module Standard ETX®, which was initiated by Kontron. ETX 3.0 introduces 2x Serial ATA without changing any of the given ETX pins, making new modules 100 percent pin-to-pin backward compatible with previous versions and ensuring long-term support for the vast number of embedded application solutions based on these already highly integrated COMs. Applications based on ETX COMs range from automation, medical, gaming and entertainment, to military and aerospace. 100 percent pin backward compatible ETX 3.0 modules ensures that existing ETX carrier boards need absolutely no change.
"ETX 3.0 adds real value to the embedded market's most established Computer-On-Module standard - ETX. It is for this reason that even more vendors are anticipated to support ETX 3.0 soon. The rollout of ETX 3.0 will be the fastest de facto standardization process the embedded computing industry has ever seen," comments Dirk Finstel, CTO of Kontron Embedded Modules, on the significance of the new specification. No other Computer-on-Module standard has ever been accepted that fast and being supported by all major vendors world wide. Arbor will deliver ETX 3.0 products by Q3 of 2006.
