FAQ: Why are System-on-Modules with Connectivity the Best Choice for IoT Applications?

A SOM, which contains a microprocessor, memory, and peripheral components integrated into a single solder-down package, simplifies your design and debug efforts and cuts your board bill-of-materials (BOM) count. A SOM with connectivity takes this one step further and integrates a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth radio. In addition, a SOM with comprehensive software development support can simplify your programming efforts. Finally, a SOM with connectivity can help you meet regulatory requirements for emissions limits and radio testing because the SOM manufacturer designs and manufactures its product with electromechanical compatibility (EMC) and radio compliance in mind.
