Arrow to host seminars covering all aspects of IoT

Arrow Electronics announced plans for a wide-ranging and all-embracing set of seminars on the Internet of Things across Europe. The IoT in Focus tour will encompass locations in Germany, France, UK, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Austria, and Switzerland and cover connectivity and embedded applications, system integration, big data and the cloud. Arrow has a broad range of expertise and an extensive network of suppliers with IoT capabilities, enabling it to advise and assist organisations that want to capture value from the explosion of the Internet of Things. The seminars will begin on 2nd of October and run throughout December. In the UK the seminars will take place in Cambridge (November 5th) and Reading (24th November).

The IoT in Focus seminars will cover where the IoT is now and where it is going. With a predicted future of billions of connected things, the correct selection of platform, technology, communication and data management architectures are essential for a scalable and secure IoT implementation.  As with any new innovative emerging market, new standards, evolving designs and applications present challenges of implementation, but also offer significant opportunities for growth, increased operating efficiencies and the delivery of more value to end users.

Arrow and its suppliers are well positioned to advise and deliver end-to-end solutions for the IoT that are secure, scalable and future proof. Arrow’s engineering teams are trained to provide guidance on all aspects of IoT systems including sensors, low power microcontrollers, wireless connectivity, networking protocols gateways, operating systems, security, big data platform management, and Cloud solutions including device management, data analytics and visualization.

The IoT in Focus tour is provided in collaboration with companies including Atmel, Cypress, Dell, Eurotech, Freescale, Intel, Microchip, Microsoft, NXP, Qualcomm, Silicon Labs, STMicroelectronics and Texas Instruments.  More than 20 leading suppliers are involved in the tour.
