Some brands disappear—only the best make a comeback. JUMPtec, the pioneer of Computer-on-Modules (CoM), is returning as an independent brand under Kontron AG, bringing its foundational technology back into the spotlight.
As a trailblazer in modular embedded computing solutions, JUMPtec has shaped industry standards such as DIMM-PC®, ETX®, COM Express®, and COM-HPC®. These technologies have become essential in the worlds of IoT, Industry 4.0, and embedded computing.
Now, after more than 20 years, JUMPtec is making a comeback with a clear mission: to shape the future of embedded computing with innovative, modular solutions—tailored to the increasing demands of AI, automation, and high-performance computing.
Why Now? The Strategic Decision Behind the Comeback
The revival of JUMPtec is not a nostalgic move but a well-thought-out strategic decision. The CPU module market is expanding rapidly, driven by the growing demand for AI, edge computing, and automation. As embedded computing requirements continue to rise, businesses need scalable, high-performance, and long-term solutions.
By positioning JUMPtec as a standalone brand, Kontron ensures a dedicated focus on CPU modules and innovative hardware solutions without them being overshadowed by its broader product portfolio.
“JUMPtec represents innovation and modular standards. Bringing the brand back under the Kontron umbrella allows us to continue this tradition while leveraging the resources of a global technology corporation.” – Peter Müller, Managing Director, JUMPtec
What’s Next? The Future of Embedded Computing
JUMPtec is not just looking back on its legacy but is actively shaping the future of embedded computing. Some of the most exciting trends and innovations include:
- High-performance ARM solutions: In collaboration with Qualcomm, JUMPtec is developing ARM-based modules that rival x86 processors in performance—while offering optimized energy efficiency for passively cooled systems.
- AI-powered embedded systems: With the growing demand for edge AI, JUMPtec is focusing on powerful modular AI solutions tailored for applications in industrial automation, medical technology, and telecommunications.
- Global manufacturing & resilient supply chains: In a world of geopolitical uncertainty, local production is becoming increasingly important. Leveraging Kontron’s global EMS network, JUMPtec can manufacture in Asia, Europe, and North America—offering greater flexibility and security for customers.
