Avoid costly redesigns with Grinn
Thinking about building a product on a System-on-Module, but worried about long-term availability? The last thing you want is to redesign your product because a critical component has gone out of production.
Typically, most consumer component vendors operate on a “fast-fashion” cycle. In the world of smartphones and tablets, a processor is often considered old after just 18–24 months. In the embedded space, vendors understand that medical tools, industrial controllers and other devices need to be in production for many years - therefore silicon providers offer longevity programs that guarantee many years of availability.
When you choose a SOM from Grinn, lack of availability is not a concern you will have to face. Our latest System-on-Modules - like the Grinn AstraSOM-1680 or the Grinn GenioSOM-700 - come with a 10-year availability guarantee (counting from the day the processor was first released), meaning you can order more units for many years after your first purchase.
This is made possible by our close relationships with our key silicon providers: MediaTek, Synaptics, and Renesas. Thanks to long-term supply agreements with each of them, we can pass that security on to our clients - a decade-long promise that our System-on-Modules will be ready whenever you need to start a new production run.
But longevity is not only about the processor.
RAM, flash, PMICs, connectors, and other supporting components also matter. If one of them becomes unavailable, we work to qualify suitable replacements and manage the transition so customers can continue production with minimal disruption.
At Grinn, we design System-on-Modules not only for performance, but also for lifecycle stability, supply-chain continuity, and protection of our customers’ R&D investment.
Because in embedded product development, the best platform is not only the one that works today. It is the one you can still build on tomorrow.
