PICMG Cards

PICMG cards are modular computing boards designed for systems built around a backplane. CPU blades, peripheral cards, and I/O modules slot into standardised connectors within an industrial or telecom-grade chassis, allowing you to scale performance or functionality without redesigning the enclosure. This modular approach makes it straightforward to upgrade individual elements of a system independently, keeping the overall platform flexible and serviceable over a long deployment lifetime.

PICMG-compliant cards are commonly used in control rooms, test stands, telecom racks, and industrial systems where dense, serviceable compute hardware is needed in a defined form factor. Their modular architecture and support for high-duty operation make them well suited to any application that requires reliable, scalable processing within a standardised chassis environment.

Yes. PICMG-compliant boards are designed with continuous operation and long product lifecycles in mind. Component selection, cooling layouts, and power stages are all chosen to cope with sustained workloads, electrical noise, and elevated temperatures inside populated racks. Many options also support extended temperature ranges and conformal coating, making them a dependable choice for plant rooms, transport infrastructure, and demanding embedded applications where unplanned downtime is costly.

Yes. We can supply PICMG cards as part of a fully engineered solution rather than as individual boards in isolation. At our UK facility we populate CPU boards with memory and storage, add the I/O and peripheral cards you require, and install and test your operating system and drivers against your chosen backplane and chassis. Every configuration is powered, checked, and documented before dispatch, so the hardware arrives ready to slide into your rack and move straight into integration or service.
