These kinds of designs are good to drop into things like kiosk PCs and digital signage, applications where you don't need a ton of processing power but still require a full stack of network connectivity. You could upgrade the compute module to better versions with faster processors or more memory depending on your needs. These kinds of compute module designs aren't very helpful for IoT designs since you need a carrier board. If you need to make your own carrier board to fit your design, why not just use an already existing SoC board that has everything you need?
