MEN Micro’s New ESMexpress® Standard: XM1
MEN Micro’s new XM1 ESMexpress® System-On-Module, based on the new ANSI-VITA 59 (RSE Rugged System-On-Module Express) computing standard in development, brings the cost and time savings of computer-on-modules (COMs) technology to rugged, harsh and mission-critical environments.
The XM1 features the first-generation Intel® Atoml® processor (Z530 at 1.6 GHz or Z510 at 1.1 GHz) based on 45-nm technology.

Definition: In fiber-optic communications, wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) is a technology which multiplexes multiple optical carrier signals on a single optical fiber by using different wavelengths (colours) of laser light to carry different signals.
This allows for a multiplication in capacity, in addition to enabling bidirectional communications over one strand of fiber. 'This is a form of frequency division multiplexing (FDM) but is commonly called wavelength division multiplexing.'[1] The term wavelength-division multiplexing is commonly applied to an optical carrier (which is typically described by its wavelength), whereas frequency-division multiplexing typically applies to a radio carrier (which is more often described by frequency). However, since wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional, and since radio and light are both forms of electromagnetic radiation, the two terms are equivalent.
