Dulles, VA, October 02, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Technology Advancement Group®, Inc. (TAG®) has been issued a US patent (8,537,540) for a Field Serviceable CPU Module. TAG is an Information Technology (IT) firm that designs and manufactures rugged computer systems, builds the US Army approved Precise Positioning Services (PPS) Global Positioning Systems (GPS) Surveying System (PGSS), provides security-cleared staffing solutions, and delivers global communication network services. TAG has deployed this Field-Upgradable CPU™ technology in a rugged Smart Display/Panel-PC and Rugged Small Form Factor (SFF) Computer, and plans to extend this technology across other product platforms in order to provide a highly flexible option for military operations deployed in remote locations.

This is the thirteenth U.S. patent granted to TAG, and the second patent developed by Trevor Landon (Vienna, VA) that will help strengthen TAG’s patent portfolio.
