Avnet,
Inc. (NYSE: AVT),
a leading global technology distributor, today announced a new agreement
in the Americas with Aeris,
a provider of complete IoT and M2M network solutions. Avnet can now
offer customers in all IoT markets – including automotive, fleet, health
care, utilities, industrial and telematics – a unified platform to
manage cellular connectivity across LTE, GSM and CDMA networks.
The Aeris platform provides a single point of access to a network of
over 500 carriers globally, and gives users the ability to control and
manage end devices across different cellular technologies, ensuring
efficient data usage, future deployment planning, improved profitability
and customer satisfaction.
“Designing and producing an IoT solution is only half the battle.
Successfully deploying these devices requires a reliable, flexible, yet
cost-effective cellular network,” said John Salemme, vice president and
general manager of Avnet Embedded. “Aeris recognizes that there are
fundamental differences between connecting ‘things’ and connecting
people. Adding their built-for-devices network offerings to our embedded
solutions will help our customers maximize the IoT value proposition as
they take their new M2M products and solutions to market.”
“As veterans of the IoT and M2M industry, we know that developing and
deploying an IoT solution is complex. That is why this agreement, which
brings the complete value chain of world class solutions together from a
single trusted supplier, is so important to the industry. We know that
Avnet’s new service, together with Aeris’ platform and support, will not
only simplify creating an IoT solution, but also help Avnet customers to
bring those solutions to market much faster,” said Andy Greig, vice
president of sales, North America of Aeris.
Data plans currently available through Avnet Embedded range from 1MB to
5GB. To learn more about the Avnet service offerings, click here.
