Agreement builds on highly successful engagement in Europe
Avnet
(NYSE: AVT),
a leading global technology distributor, and TD next, a business unit of
Telecom Design, have signed an agreement expanding Avnet’s current
franchise exclusive in EMEA to include the Americas. Effective
immediately, Avnet’s best-in-class design and supply chain experts
throughout Europe and the Americas will support the technical and
sourcing requirements of customers implementing TD next’s cutting-edge
wired and wireless technologies for the development of Internet of
Things (IoT) imaging and communications solutions.
TD next offers a wide range of high-quality, long-lifecycle and
cost-effective miniature video camera modules, including the TDM114, a
key component of Avnet’s Visible
Things Industrial IoT Platform. TD next is also a pioneer in the
development of SIGFOX-certified RF modules. The high-performance,
low-current TD1508 SIGFOX modules are the first FCC-certified
SIGFOX-ready modules dedicated to the U.S. market.
“As seemingly ever present as IoT technology is today, the reality is
that we are still fairly early in the game in terms of global IoT
proliferation,” said Alex Iuorio, senior vice president, supplier
development, Avnet. “Collaborating with TD next in the Americas is a
tremendous opportunity for Avnet to further support our customers’
development of next-generation connected devices and wireless
intelligent systems. We look forward to building on the momentum Avnet
Silica and TD next have generated in EMEA here in the Americas.”
“Since TD next joined forces with Avnet in EMEA in 2013, the rare
synergy that exists between our two organizations has enabled us to
provide seamless customer support while continuing to innovate new
technical methods to promote our solutions for IoT and embedded vision
applications,” said Nicolas Gauzes, sales manager, TD next. “With the
strong IoT support ecosystem Avnet has already built in the Americas, I
expect we will enjoy even greater success in the Americas as we extend
the reach of our engagement to advance adoption of IoT and embedded
vision applications with TD next’s proven technology.”
