Blue Chip Technology have an established track record in the UK with its range of ETX modules and supporting design services and the strategic alliance with Aaeon will significantly expand the choice of COM boards Blue Chip Technology can offer to its customer base. Aaeon is a trusted global brand in the embedded marketplace, having established a leading edge manufacturing base and strong R&D capabilities. The Aaeon COM portfolio incorporates a broad choice of different industry formats and the latest innovations in processor technologies including a complete series of new Atom based boards.
The new product introductions will include COM Express, XTX and ETX cores, covering a wide range of CPU performances, power budgets, upgrade paths and price points which will meet the requirements of a large cross section of embedded applications. The COM design concept is particularly suited to this type of strategic partnership, allying a comprehensive range of COM cores to local, in-depth expertise in customer host board design – be it a ground up development or expert support in bringing up an in-house design project.
“Blue Chip’s position in the UK is built around its in-house design and manufacture capabilities, the embedded UK customer base has responded positively to local support and hands-on engineering expertise. “ explained Barry Husbands, Blue Chip Technology Managing Director. “We see this relationship as being very much an extension of this philosophy. We are not interested in becoming just another Sales channel for Aaeon – we will only offer product where we are confident we can maintain our high standards of support. Aaeon understand this and have made every technical resource available to underpin our product knowledge”.
