White Paper Detailing Revolutionary VITA 93 – QMC Standard’s Modularity, Flexibility, Scalability, and Thermal Advantages Released by TEWS Technologies
New white paper explores how VITA 93 – QMC technology addresses critical SWaP challenges in embedded computing
The VITA 93 – QMC standard is transforming embedded computing design in defense, industrial, and transportation applications. A new white paper authored by experts at TEWS Technologies provides system architects and design engineers with crucial insights into how the new mezzanine standard addresses modern bandwidth, size, and flexibility requirements.
The VITA 93 – QMC standard was built on lessons learned from previous standards, blending their best features with new capabilities for the future.
“With VITA 90, which is VNX+, it became apparent we really needed small mezzanine cards – much smaller than on VNX,” explains Dean Holman, President and Executive Director of VITA. “The primary driver was being able to get something small enough to fit one or two on these really small form factor boards.”
VITA 93 – QMC represents a groundbreaking advancement in mezzanine card technology, offering unmatched modularity, flexibility, scalability, and reliability. With its well-thought-out cooling concept, universal compatibility, and robust design, it sets a new standard for embedded systems across industries.

The white paper examines how VITA 93 – QMC overcomes size, weight, and power (SWaP) limitations while maintaining compatibility with existing systems.
Key topics covered in the white paper include:
The document explores VITA 93’s – QMC’s scalability, from single QMC configurations measuring just 26mm x 78.25mm and 40 I/Os to quad implementations supporting up to 160 I/Os and PCIe Gen6 x16. It details how the standard’s innovative approach to thermal management and variable stacking heights enables optimal space utilization while maintaining robust cooling capabilities.
The white paper represents a collaborative effort involving insights from more than 40 companies that participated in the VITA 93 – QMC standard’s development. It serves as an essential resource for understanding how this technology will shape the future of embedded computing across aerospace, defense, industrial, medical, and transportation sectors.
