Broadcom looks to become IoT leader
With the addition of more than 40 new partners and channel distributors, Broadcom says it is positioning itself as the 'go to' vendor for developers and OEMs in the Internet of Things (IoT) space.
"As the IoT market continues to evolve, we're seeing increased demand from thousands of emerging developers wanting to get their hands on our low cost, highly integrated development platforms, modules and resource materials," said Vincent Brocato, Broadcom senior rirector. "By making our technology easy to use and easily available through our expanded global channel, companies both large and small now have immediate access to the technology and tools required to easily bring their innovative ideas to life."
Broadcom says it is targeting the healthcare, fitness and home automation markets in particular.
The new channel partners include module manufacturers, value added resellers, independent design houses, original device manufacturers and an e-commerce distribution channel.
The global network is aimed at providing greater access to its WICED Smart and WICED Wi-Fi platforms and RoboSwitch, StrataConnect and NetXtreme Ethernet solutions.
