How Avnet is enabling IoT
Scalability is key to IoT success. That’s why Avnet only recommends and supports solutions we know can get you to market faster and keep you there longer. Our supplier partners choose Avnet because they know we can solve the technical challenges involved with creating, launching, and maintaining connected solutions in the IoT.
Avnet offers everything you need to develop, manufacture, and connect your IoT solution, including:
- Hardware components (Digital ICs, Analog ICs, SoCs, SoMs, SBCs, COMs, sensors, passives, connectors, electromechanical and more)
- Software components (Operating systems, /IOTCONNECT™, Middleware, APIs)
- Security (PKI, secure elements)
- Design support – both hardware and software, Edge and Cloud
- Manufacturing solutions – Programming services, Supply Chain as a Service (SCaaS), Test and Certification
- Partnerships (AWS, Microsoft Azure, Infineon, Microchip, Nordic Semiconductor, NXP, Renesas, STMicroelectronics, Syntiant and many more)
Proof of concept is the first step. Avnet can help with hardware and software platforms designed to scale. Connecting your PoC to a cloud service is the next. /IOTCONNECT, our software as a service, was designed for this purpose and it has security and scalability at its core.

What does it take to get your product connected?
Even the smallest connected product needs an entire infrastructure behind it. IoT platforms provide that infrastructure. As an OEM, your expertise is in developing products that provide value to your customers. Adding connectivity, cloud services and advanced data analytics makes your product competitive but it shouldn't become your focus. A platform provides just that, a base for building bigger solutions.
Avnet's /IOTCONNECT is a suite of software solution accelerators, designed to integrate with the industry's two leading cloud platforms: Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services. Modern cloud platforms are achitectured around microservices. These are independent core functions, used to build applications that are reliable and scaleable. Your IoT product will access these microservices using APIs, or Application Programming Interfaces.
Working with Avnet and /IOTCONNECT means you don't need to worry about developing, testing, deploying and maintaining these APIs – because we've done it for you.
