How To Choose the Right System-on-Module, Single-Board Computer, or Custom Hardware for IoT Design Projects

Engineering teams have more and more IoT projects to tackle and less and less time to work on them. But SOMs, SBCs, and custom hardware often enable a 9-12 month acceleration of development timelines for IoT projects as well as significant cost savings.

How To Choose the Right System-on-Module, Single-Board Computer, or Custom Hardware for IoT Design Projects

SOMs, SBCs and custom hardware solutions like those built by Ezurio (formerly Laird Connectivity) provide engineers with a pre-designed, pre-certified solution that eliminates a significant amount of design work while also delivering features that would be complex to achieve with in-house engineering resources, including enhanced security, rich multimedia, enhanced connectivity, machine learning and more. The result is often a 9-12 month acceleration of development timelines for IoT projects as well as significant cost savings.

In this whitepaper, we'll cover:

  • The advantages of incorporating a custom System-on-Module or Single Board Computer into your IoT project
  • How to choose the right processor platform & how to align it with your product lifecycle
  • How to decide which form factor best supports the need of your device
  • How to evaluate different operating systems
  • How to select the right interface & device management system for you application
