• powered by Free/Libre & Open-Source Software (FLOSS)
• and guided by decades of experience creating systems from mission-critical controls to FDA Class 3 Life Support devices

Techsol is a world leader in Linux on ARM technology.
Leverage our off-the-shelf Medallion Computer Modules and development kits to accelerate your development projects. Whether you just need a Computer-on-Module for your own semi-custom design, or you need a turn-key solution, Techsol's focused Hardware and Software expertise plus superb support get you to market faster.
And our highly-integrated solutions provide the greatest value to maintain your competitive cost-advantage into production.

If this is a recession, then BRING IT ON! We are busier than EVER!!!
IT'S A GREAT YEAR FOR NEW PRODUCTS!
You've seen the TPC-35A.
Now we've launched our TPC-43A. It's a standalone computer in a wall-mount case with a beautiful 480x272-pixel TFT display (and touch-screen).
But we're not stopping there.
Watch for more touch-panel computers, with different sized displays, and different mixtures of peripherals.
If there's some combination you need, please call.
Maybe we can tweak the next design to meet your exact needs.
And if not, please remember that cost-effective, custom-designed products are our core business.

Techsol is a North American (NAFTA) corporation providing low-cost out-sourcing of your embedded technology design and board fabrication. We offer a variety of products and programs that will get you to market quicker using our proven ARM/Linux platform to mitigate risks. We make a bit of margin on hardware sales, but we save you a huge amount of development cost, resulting in a net positive return-on-investment (ROI) when using Techsol's Medallion System for product design!

Like the North American companies who act as agents for off-shore out-sourcing companies, we offer these benefits:

• Our staff speaks English (and also Mandarin and Cantonese)
• We are in your time zone (or very close to it): we're on Pacific Time.
• Most likely, we can visit your site for a meeting and return in the same day (or vice versa)

But, unlike North American companies who act as agents for off-shore out-sourcing companies, we offer these benefits:

• Engineering is performed in North America
• Production is performed in North America
• You are not spending any extra money dealing with a middle-man.

The net effect is that we can get you to your goals faster, cheaper, better than by any other means.
And our proven hardware and software platform minimizes your project's risk elements!

Our software comes pre-configured for your platform, along with any desired third-party IP (such as Java) when you purchase our hardware. All licensing and royalty costs are included in the product cost. You can develop your own applications software using one of our development kits or we can develop it for you!

We can offer this level of product-design acceleration to our customers because of the tight integration of hardware and software in our platform's design.

We can help in many ways.

We design and manufacture custom and "semi-custom" products quickly and efficiently (AKA for minimal cash outlay!) With a broad depth of commercial, industrial, medical, security, and consumer product designs under our belt, you get the advantages of a team that can compete internationally in all these areas working for you!

• Do you need to create a new product?
• Or just update an existing product?
• Do you need to update your product so it can connect to the Internet?
• Do you need to update your display to a (color) LCD screen? With Touch?
• Do you want to design your own PCBs and just plug in the most advanced computer module?
• Or do you want a fresh product that is fully-featured, robust, low-cost and leading-edge?

We can do any combination of the above.

And we will adapt our services to meet your needs!

While this started a trend back in 2002, there is still no other computer this small, with USB host ports, LCD and Touch controllers, Audio, and a 32-bit expansion bus at this price.
