Summary

The evolution of rugged embedded computing demands increasingly sophisticated I/O solutions that can withstand harsh environments while delivering exceptional performance. QMC (VITA 93) has emerged as a groundbreaking small form factor I/O mezzanine standard developed within the VITA Standards Organization, engineered to enhance modern rugged computing platforms.

Join us for an enlightening session where we'll examine the technical requirements that drove QMC's development and how its architecture works with existing open system standards. Using practical examples, we'll demonstrate how QMC's features address engineering challenges in demanding applications while enabling next-generation embedded system designs.

We will show how QMC integrates with leading open standards architectures, including OpenVPX (VITA 65), and SOSA and VNX+ (VITA 90). This compact standard measures 26mm x 78.25mm—comparable to an M.2 228 card—and introduces key innovations including dual-connector architecture and comprehensive thermal management for both air- and conduction-cooled applications.

Whether you're designing rugged embedded systems, developing solutions aligned to SOSA, or architecting OpenVPX platforms, this webinar will equip you with essential knowledge about this emerging standard that bridges the gap between compact size and advanced I/O capabilities in demanding environments.
