“Innovation Hour: Turning the Cloud into a Rainmaker!” http://ow.ly/tNEj6
“Innovation Hour: Turning the Cloud into a Rainmaker!” is the first of a
series of eight webinars to be launched in 2014 by Avnet in conjunction
with TI to provide solutions around the latest industry trends and
cutting-edge technology. Attendees can open a gateway to the Internet of
Things (IoT) by learning from experts about TI’s new Tiva C Series
Connected LaunchPad and Exosite’s scalable cloud technologies. Using the
industry's first MCU to integrate ARM® Cortex™-M4 with Ethernet MAC+PHY
along with highly customizable, web-based, visual analytic tools from
Exosite, engineers can provide valuable, customized solutions for their
target markets.
“Technology is becoming increasingly more connected, and machines
increasingly more human. Imagine a trash compactor that senses when it’s
full, and schedules itself to be picked up,” said Alex Iuorio, senior
vice president, supplier management and business development, Avnet
Electronics Marketing Americas. “Cloud-based platforms such as the Tiva
C Series Connected LaunchPad are essential to creating breakthrough
technology that can give products a competitive advantage in the
marketplace.”
“The Tiva C Series Connected LaunchPad is the first cloud-enabled TI MCU
LaunchPad ecosystem, and this Avnet webinar will jumpstart engineers’
IoT designs,” said Joe Folkens, product manager, Tiva C Series MCUs, TI.
“Everything is connected to the cloud in some way, it seems, and our
work with Exosite and this Avnet webinar will help launch a whole new
set of applications – the sky’s the limit.”
“With integrated Ethernet MAC + PHY, advanced security features, LCD
controller, and sensible mix of I/O options, the TM4C129x works
extremely well as a secure IoT sensor hub,” said Mark Benson, chief
technology officer at Exosite. “Combined with Exosite's cloud software
platform, customers can quickly deploy differentiated connected products
without re-inventing the wheel.”
Attendees can choose to participate in the live training on February 27,
2014, at 11 a.m. PST, which will feature a live Q&A session after the
webinar. Alternatively, engineers can also view the webinar on demand
after the live training has been broadcast. For a limited time, Avnet
Electronics Marketing and TI are offering the new Tiva C Series
Connected LaunchPad before its public release and a FREE copy of Code
Composer Studio™ to webinar attendees. A discount code will be provided
via e-mail to the first 50 customers who purchase the Tiva C Series
Connected LaunchPad. For more information, or to register for the live
