Open Standards for Modular, Scalable
Edge Computing
PICMG is a non-profit consortium of 140+ member companies.
We collaboratively design and manage open, interoperable technology
specifications for high-performance edge computing systems.
Backplane Systems
PICMG governs a variety of backplane-based system specifications and associated card and module standards. Solutions based on these technologies are deployed in telecom and datacom infrastructure, industrial automation systems, aerospace & defense platforms, high-energy physics installations, test & measurement equipment, and more.
