Participate and support open architecture hardware and systems through VITA, SOSA™ and PICMG™ standards.

About us

Elma Electronic actively participates in major embedded computing open standards organizations - VITA, SOSA™ and PICMG. VITA is the governing body for the VITA standards organization (VSO), in which member organizations work together to create several major and long-standing architecture standards such as VITA 65 or OpenVPX, VMEbus, XMC & PMC mezzanines and many more. These open standards serve as the backbone of many defense and aerospace installations all over the globe. The Open Group® Sensor Open Systems Architecture™ (SOSA) Consortium is also a member-based organization with a goal to create a common framework for transitioning sensor systems to an open systems architecture, based on key interfaces and open standards established by industry-government consensus. The SOSA Consortium enables government and industry to collaboratively develop open standards and best practices to enable, enhance, and accelerate the deployment of affordable, capable, interoperable sensor systems, thus meeting the law put into place in 2019 through the Pentagon's Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) directive. The SOSA Consortium is set to provide a fair and neutral environment for cooperation between industry and government partners, resulting in a collaborative effort across all major branches of the Department of Defense and industry. PICMG standards are used more prominently in sectors such as industrial, high energy physics, test and measurement, process control and telecommunications. The organization has a strong IP Policy that enable members to work in a vendor-neutral environment to develop standards for a broad ecosystem. Active standards include COM Express and COM-HPC; CompactPCI Serial; ModBlox7; InterEdge; and others.
