Compulab FACE Module FM-XTDM2 – Dual miniPCIe Expansion for fitlet® Systems

The Compulab FM-XTDM2 FACE Module expands the connectivity of compatible fitlet® industrial PCs by adding two internal miniPCIe slots, enabling flexible integration of cellular, Wi-Fi, storage, or fieldbus modules in a compact and robust form factor.

Designed for seamless FACE slot integration, the FM-XTDM2 becomes a natural part of the system with no external cabling or adapters. This preserves the fanless, industrial-grade design while reducing potential points of failure – a key requirement in edge computing and IoT deployments where long-term stability and serviceability are essential.

The dual miniPCIe architecture allows system builders to combine technologies such as LTE/5G connectivity, additional NVMe or SATA storage, or industrial communication interfaces within a single platform. This makes the module ideal for applications that require secure remote management, multi-network connectivity, or local data buffering at the edge.

From a software perspective, the module integrates smoothly into both Linux-based and Windows IoT environments, where modular hardware enables scalable and lifecycle-ready system designs.
