New deal broadens customer access to secure, wireless connectivity stack
Avnet (NYSE: AVT),
a leading global technology distributor, and UbiquiOS™
Technology Limited, a leading provider of hardware-agnostic, wireless
connectivity software, today announced a new distribution agreement that
expands Avnet’s franchise rights with UbiquiOS to include the Americas.
Effective immediately, Avnet will offer UbiquiOS’s integrated stack to
customers in the Americas as well as Europe, accelerating the
development of IoT-enabled devices and systems.
Built on open standards/protocols to support end-to-end IoT applications
across a wide array of functions and applications, UbiquiOS is a compact
and secure embedded software platform that provides a complete
connectivity solution from device driver to application layer. UbiquiOS
provides powerful APIs for common system functionalities such as memory
management, device configuration and provisioning, and network protocol
implementations.
“IoT development occurs across a wide base of engineers from
entrepreneurs to established corporations. The combination of UbiquiOS
accelerating wireless product development and Avnet’s unique ability to
overcome issues of scale and time-to-market pressures faced by customers
will improve IoT project success,” said Martin Riegel, CEO, UbiquiOS.
UbiquiOS recently teamed with Trusted Objects and Avnet
Silica to design a Transport Layer Security (TLS) solution that
provides end-to-end sensor-to-server security to billions of sensors.
Adding support for the Trusted Objects’ microcontroller-based TO136
Secure Element and Avnet Silica’s server APIs for gateway/sensor
provisioning gives developers using the UbiquiOS low-resource stack the
ability to interface wirelessly to IoT devices with confidence that
their systems are protected against system, network or data cyber
intrusion.
“Security has been the top priority, and greatest challenge, for
developers of IoT-enabled systems. The UbiquiOS stack offers customers a
powerful, integrated security solution, without limiting designers’
choice of MCU, wireless chipset, cloud platform or development
environment,” said Alex Iuorio, senior vice president, supplier
development, Avnet. “Avnet’s Silica group has had great success with
this line in Europe, and we look forward to the opportunity to help our
customers in the Americas achieve faster time to revenue with this
flexible connectivity platform.”
