These latest IoT services will be showcased by Avnet at CES 2018 in Las Vegas on Jan. 9-12, 2018, at Tech East, Westgate, booth 2609.

To date, IoT adoption has been slowed by the complexity of the IoT ecosystem, which Avnet has addressed and simplified through these IoT services and our technology partnerships.”

Through these new and enhanced IoT capabilities, Avnet offers end-to-end solutions that guide customers from idea through every stage of their design to deliver connected IoT products into the hands of consumers around the world, delivering on the promise to help businesses reach further.
