Single-chip module speeds system design
Anew and exclusive single-chip system module(SCM) has been developed by Arrow Electronics and NXP Semiconductors. It simplifies the use of NXP’s i.MX 6 applications processor in IoT devices, wearables and smart-home technology, where space is tight, energy is precious and time-to-market is critical.
Arrow signing strengthens IoT hand
Arrow Electronics and Libelium have signed a global distribution agreement. The deal extends Arrow’s portfolio for the Internet of Things (IoT) with the addition of Libelium’s wireless and sensor technology and enables the companies to provide off-the-shelf IoT solutions that require minimal design effort before deployment.
Duo commit to simplifying LoRa ecosystem
Stream Technologies, the company behind IoT-X, the advanced Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity management platform,and Laird have announced that Laird’s Sentrius RG1xx Long-Range Wireless Area Network (LoRaWAN) gateway is pre-configured out of the box to function with Stream’s LoRaWAN network server and IoT-X platform.

Multi-sensor RFID tags offer 10m read range
Powercast has announced what it claims to be the industry’s first RFID sensor tags which can include multiple sensors in a single tag, and provide the industry’s longest read range of 10m, or 32ft. High accuracy temperature, humidity and light sensors are now available, with more sensor types planned for the future. Tags for sensing the RFID reader’s field are also available and use an on-board LED to show field strength.
Development board accelerates IoT designs
The range of IoT development boards at Arrow Electronics has been expanded with the addition of SmartEverything Panther. The Panther board enables users to quickly add pattern recognition capabilities to their products to allow them to recognise gestures, sound and vibration patterns and then to simply link them to the cloud via Wi-Fi for monitoring and control purposes.
Close customer contact keeps Digi at top of its game
Since its inception in 1985, Digi International (Digi) has been a key international player in the connectivity market. Through a combination of regular appearances at major trade fairs and more intimate customer meetings, the company keeps a strong focus on what matters: the client. Digi’s Chief Technology Officer, Joel Young (pictured), was recently appointed Chairman of the IoT M2M Council (IMC), and in an exclusive interview with Electro...
Controlling a robot as simple as point and click
The traditional interface for remotely operating robots works just fine for roboticists. They use a computer screen and mouse to independently control six degrees of freedom, turning three virtual rings and adjusting arrows to get the robot into position to grab items or perform a specific task.But for someone who isn’t an expert, the ring-and-arrow system is cumbersome and error-prone. It’s not ideal, for example, for older people tr...
Hands-on workshops for engineers
Engineers can now get hand-son with the Renesas Synergy Platform in a series of one-day workshops, the company has announced.Workshop participants will spend a couple of hours understanding the platform, see a demonstration of how quickly they can programme at the API, as well as completing their own project in one of the focus topics. At the end of the workshop engineers will take away their own Renesas Synergy S7 Starter Kit and Synergy ‘...
Distributor develops IoT development platform
A new FPGA IoT Maker Board that has been designed for end-to-end application development and optimised for cost has been developed by Arrow Electronics. The Arrow MAX1000 board can be installed directly into a custom application or integrated on to a completely separate board.
Analog Devices names Arrow strategic global distributor
Analog Devices (ADI) has selected Arrow Electronics as its strategic distribution channel partner operating globally. ADI will retain its current regional distributor network but will employ Arrow as its sole global distribution channel partner.
