Advantech Computer-on-Modules based on new OSM standard
Advantech Computer-on-Modules (COM) are revolutionizing the AIoT landscape with limitless performance at tiny size, based on the Open Standard Module (OSM) standard by SGET.
Advantech OSM Computer-On-Modules
The demand for compact, reliable, and rapidly scalable solutions has never been greater in the emerging embedded market. This is primarily driven by the growth of AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things), including edge AI and sensor nodes. The Open Standard Module (OSM) standard published by the Standardization Group for Embedded Technologies (SGET) represents a range of specifications for tiny solder-on modules equipped with pre-defined hardware and software interfaces. Advantech OSM modules complement existing Computer-On-Modules and usher in the era of miniature embedded technology, ensuring future adaptability. All backed by Advantech’s proven manufacturing and software expertise.
Key benefits:
- SPACE EFFICIENCY Tiny and ultra-thin design for applications with limited space
- ENHANCED RELIABILITY Better vibration tolerance due to due to SMT module assembly
- FAST DEVELOPMENT Simplified carrier board design and OSM integration of HDI PCB, memory, and PMIC

Advantech OSM features
Four compact form factors with corresponding LGA configurations
The Open Standard Module specification is defining 4 versatile sizes: Size Zero (15×30 mm), Small (30x30mm), Medium (45x30mm), and Large (45x45mm). All four form factors seamlessly complement one another. This allows for easy scalability and integration. Each size corresponds to the number of LGA contacts on the module, offering flexibility for various application requirements.
Ultra-thin, anti-vibration design and reduced total cost of ownership
OSM utilizes fully automatic SMT (Surface Mount Technology) assembly, which eliminates the need for additional connectors for board-to-board connection. The result is a thinner, more space-efficient profile, which is especially beneficial in electronic device designs with limited space. SMT assembly also offers enhanced resilience to vibration, shock, and other mechanical stressors. For AIoT devices in rough industrial environments this is quite important. Furthermore, with reduced material costs and enhanced production efficiency and quality control, SMT assembly significantly reduces the total cost of ownership.
Higher functionality and flexibility
The higher component density on PCBs assembled with SMT is allowing for more features and functionality in a smaller footprint. The pinout configuration includes video interfaces such as RGB, Camera Serial Interface (CSI), DisplayPort, and LVDS, as well as connection interfaces with up to 2 x PCIe x4, 5 x GbE Ethernet, and 2 x USB 3.2.
