Congatec Expands Computer-on-Module Portfolio

Congatec has expanded its computer-on-module (COM) portfolio with 18 new JUMPtec product families following the acquisition of Kontron’s module business in July 2025. The move significantly increases the breadth of congatec’s embedded and edge computing offerings, addressing a wide range of industrial, medical, transportation, and automation applications that rely on standardized module form factors.

Portfolio expansion across multiple module standards
With the addition of the JUMPtec families, congatec now offers one of the most comprehensive ranges of COM-HPC, COM Express, SMARC, and Qseven modules available from a single supplier. These modules cover performance classes from low-power embedded designs to high-performance edge computing platforms, supporting both x86 and Arm-based architectures.

The expanded lineup is engineered to congatec’s established “Designed in Germany” quality standards, which emphasize long-term availability, industrial-grade robustness, and lifecycle management. This is particularly relevant for sectors where embedded platforms are deployed for a decade or longer and must remain software- and pin-compatible across generations.

Integration into the aReady.COM ecosystem
As part of the post-acquisition integration, the new JUMPtec modules are being incorporated into congatec’s aReady.COM portfolio. This framework combines application-ready hardware with validated software building blocks, including BIOS, operating system support, hypervisors, and security features.

By aligning the new modules with aReady.COM, congatec aims to reduce integration effort for developers. Standardized software enablement and prevalidated configurations allow system designers to focus on application development rather than low-level platform bring-up, shortening development cycles and improving design reliability in embedded and edge computing projects.

Continuity for existing JUMPtec customers
Congatec has stated that existing JUMPtec customers will retain unrestricted access to current products, services, and established ordering processes. This continuity is intended to preserve design security for deployed systems and avoid forced redesigns, a critical requirement in regulated or long-lifecycle markets such as industrial automation and medical technology.

At the same time, the combined engineering teams are expected to accelerate development across multiple form factors. Recent launches cited by congatec include high-performance Arm-based modules using Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ-X processors on COM-HPC Mini, as well as the parallel introduction of several modules based on Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors.

Relevance for embedded and edge computing markets
The expansion reflects broader trends in the embedded computing market, where system architects increasingly seek vendor consolidation, consistent software ecosystems, and roadmap stability across heterogeneous architectures. By unifying JUMPtec modules under its portfolio and software framework, congatec is positioning itself to support scalable embedded and edge platforms that span industrial PCs, AI-enabled edge systems, and compact embedded controllers without fragmenting development workflows.
