The internet of things or IoT describes devices with sensors, processing ability, software and other technologies that connect and exchange data with other devices and systems over the Internet or other communications networks. This capability is both complex and challenging. Avnet supports OEMs looking for the right way to tackle the many challenges that IoT brings. That support can be described using just three words: simple, secure, scalable.
Simple – Any IoT business will involve deploying hundreds and even thousands of devices, or endpoints. Avnet makes it simple to design those endpoints, thanks to IoTConnect.
Secure – Security remains the number one concern of our OEM customers developing IoT solutions. IoTConnect has security at its core, making it easier to operate an IoT service.
Scalable – The IoT is massive and only getting bigger. IoTConnect has been designed with this in mind. The technology was designed to scale up, to serve OEMs with multiple IoT product offerings across all vertical markets.
