High-Performance COM Express module for transportation and defence applications

FORTEC United Kingdom has introduced the COM-MTHC6, a high-performance COM Express Type 6 Compact module developed to meet the rigorous demands of embedded computing in transportation and defence environments. Combining cutting-edge processing power with robust connectivity and industrial-grade reliability, the module is an excellent choice for intelligent systems that need long-term availability, compact integration, and dependable performance.

Powered by the latest Intel Core Ultra Series Processors, the module delivers excellent performance in a compact 95mm x 95mm form factor. Supporting up to 96GB of DDR5 5600MHz memory, it is constructed to handle high-resolution data processing, edge AI inference, and multi-tasking with ease, even in space-constrained or rugged installations.

From real-time passenger information displays to advanced vehicle control systems, the module is designed for fast, responsive performance. It provides multiple digital display interfaces (DDI, eDP, LVDS), USB 3.2 Gen 2, and 2.5GbE LAN for seamless system integration and connectivity.

The wide 9V–16V power input range supports fluctuating voltages often encountered in transit environments, while the small footprint allows for easy integration into rolling stock, control panels, and roadside equipment.

For defence applications, the module provides the flexibility and durability required for mission-critical deployment. With PCIe expansion options including [x8], [x4], and [x1] lanes, it supports high-speed data capture, secure communications, and extra hardware acceleration.

Its rugged design, power efficiency, and long-term component availability make it a strong fit for portable systems, mobile command units, surveillance platforms, and other defence-grade technologies where performance and reliability are essential.
